Answer:
9 students ride the bus.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The total number of students in gregs class is 24 and [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] ride the bus to school.
To find how many students ride the bus;
Let x be the number of student ride the bus.
Proportional is simply a statement that the two ratios are equal.
It can be written in two ways i.e, [tex]\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}[/tex] or
[tex]a : b :: c :d[/tex]
Then, as per the given conditions;
x : 24 = 3 : 8 or
[tex]\frac{x}{24} = \frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 24 we get;
[tex]\frac{x}{24} \times 24 =\frac{3}{8} \times 24[/tex]
Simplify:
x = 9
Therefore, the student ride the bus is, 9
