First, you convert the 75% to a decimal--that would be .75 (1.0 is 100% so .75 is 75% of 1.0). Then you multiply .75 times the total number (48) to arrive at 75%.

48/4= 12
12x3= 36
There are 36 Elementary students that ride the bus.

This is beginning to sound like your homework.... However.
If there are 48 students on the bus and three quarters of them are in elementary school, divide 48 by four to find out how many make one quarter, then multiply by 3 to find out how many make three quarters.

multiply 146 and .75 together to get the number of elementary school kids.
oops, I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention. I feel stupid, you need to multiply 48 and .75, I'm horrible with word problems, they always confuse me. Just ask my algebra teacher, I'm in high school and still can't figure out half of them.

confident. that's approximately ratios and you're finding for a form which will take care of an analogous ratio as in the 1st occasion. what number cases does 4 circulate into 36? 9 cases. So in case you multiply the 2d form by ability of 9, you get 80 one. subsequently, 4=9 as 36=80 one.

***first divide the 48 by 4.....now you have 25% which = 12
***then you multiply by 3 to get the 75% this comes out as 36
WHALLAH!!!
