Answer:
Step 1: Understand the fraction given.
The fraction given is 3/8 of the students ride the bus.
Step 2: Find the number of students represented by 1/8.
Since 3/8 of the students ride the bus, to find the number of students that 1/8 represents, divide the total number of students by 8.
Number of students in 1/8 = Total students / Denominator = 24 / 8 = 3 students
Step 3: Use the value of 1/8 to find the total number of students who ride the bus.
If 1/8 represents 3 students, then 3/8 (which is three times 1/8) represents:
Number of students riding the bus = 3 students * 3 = 9 students
Therefore, based on the given information and using equivalent fractions, 9 out of the 24 students in Ms. Mull's class ride the bus.
