Question

If a bus can carry 37 passengers, then 2 buses can carry about ___ passengers.

• A. 120
• B. 80
• C. 100
• D. 60

Answer 1

The correct option is B 80

If a bus can carry 37 passengers, then 2 buses can carry $37\times 2=74$ passengers.

$37\underset{–}{\times 2}74$

74 is closer to 80 than 120, 100 and 60.
Thus, 2 buses can carry about 80 passengers.
