So if 24 out of the 30 kids rode the bus to school, that means that only six kids did not ride the bus.
We can set up a fraction with this situation! The denominator will be 30 because that is the total amount of kids overall.
Since we are trying to find the number of kids who DID NOT ride the bust, we have to subtract 30 from 24(30-24) to get how many kids did not take the bus.
This would give us a fraction of 6/24. Then we have to simplify it. It can be divided by 6 to the numerator and denominator giving us
1/4
The answer is 1/4 of students did not ride the bus.
Can I get true brainliest or a heart? Thanks, if you need more help please contact me in instagram.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume = 198 ft
length * width * height = 198
(x - 1) * (x + 4) * 3 = 198
(x - 1) * (x + 4) = 198/3
(x - 1) * (x + 4) = 66
x*x + x*4 -1*x - 1*4 = 66 {Use FOIL method to multiply}
x² + 4x - x - 4 = 66
x² + 3x - 4 =66
x² + 3x - 4 - 66 = 0
x² + 3x - 70 = 0
Now factorize.
x² + 10x - 7x - 7*10 = 0
x(x +10) - 7(x + 10 ) = 0
(x + 10)(x - 7) = 0
x - 7 = 0 {x + 10 is ignored because measurement cannot be in negative}
x = 7
length = x - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6ft
Width = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 ft
