In Daniel's fifth grade class, 37.5% of the 24 students walk to school. One third of the walkers got a ride to school presently from their parents. How many walkers got a ride to school from their parents today?
First, ?nd the number of walkers and then ?nd one third of that number. Find out 37.5% of 24 through multiplying 24 through the decimal equivalent of 37.5%. To ?nd out the decimal equivalent, move the decimal point two places to the left; 37.5% = 0.375. Now, multiply 24 × 0.375 = 9. Find one third of 9 by dividing 9 by 3; 9 ÷ 3 = 3. Three walkers got rides.
