689/35 = 19.68 = 20 (to nearest greater integer)

It's not to the nearest integer. Let's say we had $680$ passengers.

$\frac{680}{35}=19.43$ to $2$ decimal places.

The nearest integer is $19$ but you would still need $20$ buses.

He said nearest "greater" integer. 20 is the greater of the two nearest integers. Fail comment

This is so easy,689 + 11 divided by 35 is 20. so we nedd 20 bus with remained 11 seat

Can't we use half a bus?

No, we can't. Besides, the answer has to be an integer.

689/35=19.68(20)

We can't have number of buses in decimal so there will be 20 buses with 11 remaining seats.
