Answer:

The number of students that bring their lunches is 12

Explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of students that bring their lunches

y -----> the total number of students in a class

we know that

The number of students that bring their lunches divided by the total number of students in a class must be equal to 3/8


(x)/(y)=(3)/(8)


x=(3)/(8)y -----> equation A


y=32 -----> equation B

substitute the value of y in equation A and solve for x


x=(3)/(8)(32)


x=12

therefore

The number of students that bring their lunches is 12
