How many members ride the​ bus?


Sagot :

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

"of" means times (×)

[tex]\frac{5}{8} \times\frac{24}{1}[/tex]

Multiply across:

[tex]5\times 24=120[/tex]

[tex]8\times 1= 8[/tex]

[tex]\frac{120}{8}[/tex]

Divide:

[tex]120\div8=15[/tex]

Therefore, 15 people on the soccer ride the bus.
