Calculating Bus Capacities and Needs

The video tutorial explains how to determine the number of buses needed to transport 500 people, given each bus holds 46 people. The instructor uses a multiplication trick to simplify the calculation, starting with 10 buses to see how many people they can hold. After calculating that 10 buses can hold 460 people, the instructor adds one more bus to reach the required capacity of 506 people, concluding that 11 buses are needed in total.

What is the main problem discussed in the video?

• Calculating the number of buses needed for 500 people.

• Finding the cost of bus tickets.

• Calculating the fuel consumption of the buses.

• Determining the route for the buses.

How many people can 10 buses hold if each bus has a capacity of 46 people?

• 400 people

• 500 people

• 460 people

• 480 people

What mathematical trick is used to quickly calculate the capacity of 10 buses?

• Adding a zero to the end of the number.

• Multiplying by 5.

• Subtracting 10 from the total.

• Dividing by 10.

After adding one more bus to the initial 10, what is the total number of buses needed?

• 9 buses

• 10 buses

• 12 buses

• 11 buses

What is the total capacity of 11 buses, each holding 46 people?

• 520 people

• 500 people

• 506 people

• 460 people

Why was an additional bus added after calculating with 10 buses?

• To reach the required capacity of 500 people.

• To save on costs.

• To reduce travel time.

• To provide extra comfort.
