Last year at James Middle School, 3/5 of the students rode the bus to school. Of those students, 2/3 of them ride the bus home. If there were a total of 500 students, how many ride the bus to and from school?

200 students ride the bus to and from school

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the total of students

y ----> the number of students that rode the bus to school

z ----> the number of students that rode the bus to home

we know that

3/5 of the students rode the bus to school

so

substitute the value of x

Of those students, 2/3 of them ride the bus home

so

substitute the value of y

therefore

200 students ride the bus to and from school

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles

answer is 33
