Worked Solution
Step 1: Divide the total pupils by the seats per bus.
53 ÷ 9 = 5 remainder 8.
Step 2: Five full buses carry 5 × 9 = 45 pupils.
Step 3: 53 − 45 = 8 pupils still need a seat.
Step 4: Those 8 pupils need one more bus, even though the bus is not full.
Step 5: Total buses needed = 5 + 1 = 6.
Answer: 6
Correct answer: 6
