Help? Canyon middle school has 1,250 students. 40% of these students ride the bus. How many students ride the bus?

500 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the percent to a fraction in its simplest terms

Then solve 2/3×1250

500 students ride the bus

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy:

If the total number of students is 1250 and you know 40% ride the bus all you have to do is figure out 40% of 1250. Once you get that you will get 500 people. You can use a calculator for this problem.

x/1250 = 40/100

x = number of students riding bus

Solve for x

100x = 1250*4 - after you cross mulitply

solve for x

x = 500

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
