A travel soccer team has 39 players. Each charter van fits 4 players. How many vans does the team need to fit all of their players?

To find the total number of vans, we divide 39 by 4, which gives us a quotient of 9, with a remainder of 3. Since we cannot leave anyone on the team behind, we must have another van for the remaining 3 people. This gives us 9 + 1 = 10 total vans.
