Yes, the number of students on a field trip is a function of the number of buses used.

A function is a relation between two sets of numbers, where each input is associated with exactly one output value. In this case, the number of buses used is the input, and the number of students on the field trip is the output.

When more buses are used, it is likely that more students can be accommodated on the field trip. Each bus has a capacity, and by increasing the number of buses, more seats become available for students. Therefore, as the number of buses used increases, the number of students on the field trip increases as well.

However, there may be limitations to how many students can be accommodated on a field trip, depending on factors such as the total number of buses available, the availability of supervisors, and safety regulations. Therefore, the function between the number of buses used and the number of students on the field trip may not always be a linear relationship.
