In mr. hammers class 16 out of every 24 kids take a buss to school. what is the fraction of the class who rides the buss in simplest form. next as a decimal then as a percentage.

Since 16 out of 24 kids take the bus, 16/24 kids take the bus.  We can reduce this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 8.  Now, our fraction becomes 2/3.  2/3 is the number in a fraction.

In order to convert this into a decimal, we divide the numerator by the denominator.  2/3 = 0.67, so 0.67 is the decimal.

To convert this to a percentage, we multiply it by 100.  0.67*100 = 67, so the percentage of kids who ride the bus is 67%.

The answer for this question is 80
