To find out how many students ride bikes to school at Clearwood Jr. High, we can use the information given:
- We know that 4% of the students ride bikes to school.
- There are 650 students attending Clearwood Jr. High.
To calculate the number of students who ride bikes, multiply the total number of students by the percentage of students who ride bikes:
Number of students who ride bikes = 650 students × 4%
To switch from a percentage to a decimal, divide the percentage by 100:
4% = 4/100 = 0.04

Number of students who ride bikes = 650 students × 0.04 = 26 students.
Therefore, there are 26 students at Clearwood Jr. High who ride bikes to school.
