    We can divide the students evenly among 7 buses by using

    (16*number of chaperones) / 7

    16*18/7 = 288/7

    ≅ 41 students

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Number of chaperones = 18 (given)

    Number of students = 16 times number of chaperones = 16*18

    Number of students = 288

    There are 7 buses and students have to be shared equally.

    Number of students in the seven buses = 288

    Number of students in each bus = 288/7 = 41.14

    Since number of students have to be a whole number, we round off to the nearest whole number.

    Therefore, the number of students in each bus ≅ 41
