3 out of every 8 middle school students in one town participate in at least one sport. If there are 536 middle school students in the town, how many participate in at least one sport?

Since 3 out of every 8 middle school students participate in one sport, the ratio of students who participate in a sport in 3 participants / 8 students. Multiplying 536 students by 3 participants/ 8 students gives the answer 201 participants.
