You are correct in thinking that the columns of the first matrix must match with the rows of the second matrix.

So for example, we can multiply a 1 x 5 matrix with a 5 x 7 matrix. The two matching '5's are directly what make multiplication possible in this case. For your problem, the first two '3's match and multiplication is possible.

The rows of the first matrix don't need to match with the columns of the second matrix.

Answer: 2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the information that at Bridgeview School, 7/10 of the total students are driven to school by their parents and that 1/6 of the total students at Bridgeview School ride the bus.

The fraction of the students that walk to school would be:

= 1 - (7/10 + 1/6)

= 1 - (21/30 + 5/30)

= 1 - 26/30

= 4/30

= 2/15
