out of 32 students in a class, 5 said they rode their bikes to school. Based on these results, how many of the 800 students ride their bikes to school?

the fraction riding bikes is 5/32, so of the 800

5/32 * 800 rode bikes.

To find out how many of the 800 students ride their bikes to school based on the given data, we can use proportions.

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.
