Answer 1

The fraction of the students that walk in in Marla's school is equal to
`(2)/(9)`

Explanation:

Let

x------> the total students in Marla's school

we know that

The number of students that not ride the bus is equal to

`(6)/(15)x\ students`

The number of students that walk to the school is equal to

`(6)/(15)x*(5)/(9)=(2)/(9)x\ students`

therefore

The fraction of the students that walk in in Marla's school is equal to
`(2)/(9)`
