Answer:

7 school buses will be needed to take the children of Anderson school on a field trip

Step-by-step explanation:

number of children = 390

We are told that each bus carries 60 people

Therefore

60 people = 1 bus

1 person = (1 ÷ 60)

∴ 390 people = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{390}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{390}{60}[/tex] =  6.5 (approx. 7 buses)

Therefore, 7 school buses will be needed to take the children of Anderson school on a field trip, but the seventh bus will be half-filled with children.
