You're very welcome, jj.
To solve this problem, we need to find out how many of the 32 students walk to school.
Step 1: Calculate how many students walk to school using the fraction given.
The fraction option is 5/8. To determine how many students walk, we multiply the total number of students (32) by the fraction 5/8.
Step 2: Multiply the total number of students by the fraction.
32 x 5/8 = (32 x 5) / 8
= 160 / 8
= 20
Therefore, 20 out of 32 students walk to school.
