1,200 divide by 600 = 2 students
2 students multiply by 50% is 100 students.
So, approximately 100 students ride their bicycles home.

3. Any number you choose between 7 and 3
4. Any number you choose below 8
Yes your going to get biased opinions and they would all say yes because they play basketball in the gym so obviously they want good things so they want it to be remodeled
Answer:
5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
A common factor of 8 can be canceled from numerator and denominator.
40/56 = (5·8)/(7·8) = (5/7)·(8/8) = (5/7)·1 = 5/7
_____
Since you know your multiplication tables, you know that 40 and 56 are both multiples of 8.
__
If you don't know your multiplication tables, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide each by that. The GCD can be found using Euclid's algorithm. For that, you divide the larger by the smaller and use the remainder as the new smaller number. The original smaller number is now the larger number. For these numbers, that looks like ...
56 ÷ 40 = 1 r 16
40 ÷ 16 = 2 r 8
16 ÷ 8 = 2 r 0 . . . . . the zero remainder signals that the divisor (8) is the GCD
Now, your fraction is ...
(40/8) / (56/8) = 5/7
