2. Students rent buses and vans for a trip to Disneyland. There were 8 12 buses and 8 vans and 360 students:
a) Write an equation to show the relationship described above.
b) If there are 12 students on every van, how many kids are on each bus?

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.

All you have to do is multiply
