1.
(9)/(25) of students ride the bus to school. Note that

$(9)/(25)=(9\cdot 2)/(25\cdot 2)=(18)/(50).$

2.
(19)/(50) of students walk to school.

3. The fraction of students that ride the bus or walk to school is

(18)/(50)+(19)/(50)=(18+19)/(50)=(37)/(50).

Answer: the fraction of students that ride the bus or walk to school is
(37)/(50).
