out of 32 students in a class, 5 said they ride a bike to school. based on these results, how many of the 800 students in the school ride their bikes to school?
We can write a proportion for this question 5 out of 32 students and we have to find how many (x) out of 800 5/32 = x /800 cross multiply 5*800 = 32x 4000 = 32x divide both sides by 32 125 = x
About 125 students of the 800 ride their bikes to school.
