the fraction riding bikes is 5/32, so of the 800
5/32 * 800 rode bikes.
5/32 * 800 rode bikes.
First, let's calculate the proportion of students who ride their bikes to school in the given class. We know that out of 32 students, 5 said they rode their bikes. So, the proportion of students who ride their bikes in this class is 5/32.
Now, we can use this proportion to estimate the number of students who ride their bikes out of the 800 students. We set up a proportion:
(5/32) = (x/800)
Cross-multiplying, we get:
5 * 800 = 32x
Now, solve for x:
4000 = 32x
Divide both sides by 32:
x = 4000/32
x ≈ 125
Therefore, based on these results, we can estimate that around 125 out of the 800 students ride their bikes to school.
