Answer 2

Answer:We are told that there are 36 students in the class, and out of these, 20 are boys. Additionally, we are given specific numbers for the boys who walk, the girls who cycle, and the girls who take the bus.

First, let's calculate the number of girls in the class. Since there are 36 students in total and 20 of them are boys, we can subtract the number of boys from the total number of students to find the number of girls: 36 - 20 = 16 girls.

Now, let's calculate the number of students who take the bus. We know that there are 10 students who take the bus, and out of these, 5 are girls. This means that the remaining 10 - 5 = 5 students who take the bus must be boys.

Next, let's calculate the number of students who walk to school. We are told that 8 of the boys walk, but we don't have any information about girls who walk. So, we need to find the number of girls who walk by subtracting the number of boys who walk from the total number of students who walk: 36 - 8 = 28 students walk.

Therefore, the answer is that 28 students walk to school.
