Vickie is correct because, since you have more people than can fit onto 6 busses you have to have 7. This is because you can't have half a bus or a quarter of a bus or anything less than a whole bus. In problems like this, you always have to round up in order it fulfill the real world aspect of the problem

you divide 146 and 24 if its six Russ is correct if its Vickie 7 she's correct
