Keep Going!
Incorrect
To multiply fractions, simply multiply the numerators and denominators separately.First, get the fraction of the students who ride the bus.Total population of students: `8/8`Fraction of students who walk: `3/8``8/8-3/8` `=` `5/8` `5/8` of the students ride the bus.To get a fraction of a quantity, simply multiply the fraction to the quantity.Fraction of students who ride the bus: `5/8`Total no. of students: `32``5/8``xx``32` `=` `5/8xx32/1` `=` $$\frac{5}{8\div\color{#CC0000}{8}}\times\frac{32\div\color{#CC0000}{8}}{1}$$ Reduce the fractions `=` `5/1xx4/1` `=` `20/1` `=` `20` students `20` students ride the bus to school.`20` students -
