The ratio of students who walk to those who ride to those who catch the bus is 12:5:13.
Solución
To find the ratio of students who walk, ride their bike, and catch the bus, we start by determining the proportions of each group based on the information given.
-
Walking to school:
-
of students walk to school. This can be expressed as a fraction:
-
-
Riding a bike:
- One-sixth of the students ride their bike. This can be expressed as a fraction:
-
Catching the bus:
- The remainder of the students catch the bus. To find this, we first calculate the total percentage of students who walk and ride their bike:
- Therefore, the percentage of students who catch the bus is:
Now we have the proportions:
- Walking:
- Riding:
- Catching the bus:
Next, we convert these proportions into a ratio. To do this, we can express each proportion as a fraction of a common denominator. The least common multiple of the denominators (1, 6, and 1) is 6.
- Walking:
- Riding:
- Catching the bus:
Now we can express the ratios:
- Walking:
- Riding:
- Catching the bus:
Thus, the ratio of students who walk to those who ride to those who catch the bus is:
To simplify this ratio, we can divide each term by 2:
Thus, the final ratio of students who walk to those who ride to those who catch the bus is:
The correct answer is C

To determine the ratio of students who walk, ride their bike, and catch the bus, let’s first analyze the proportions based on the survey data.
- Percentage of Students Walking: 40% walk to school.
- Percentage of Students Riding Bikes: One-sixth of the students ride their bikes, which is approximately 16.67%.
- Percentage of Students Catching the Bus: To find this, we need to calculate the remainder. The total percentage is 100%, so:
- Percentage catching the bus = 100% - 40% (walking) - 16.67% (riding) = 43.33%.
Now, we can convert these percentages into a common format for the ratio:
- Walking: 40% = 40 parts
- Riding: 16.67% ≈ 16.67 parts
- Catching the bus: 43.33% ≈ 43.33 parts
To express them all in a simplified whole number format, we can convert the percentages to equivalent fractions for easier comparison, or just round consistently. A simplified common multiple logic would yield:
- Walking: 40 → 120
- Riding: 16.67 → 50
- Catching the bus: 43.33 → 130
Thus, the ratio will simplify approximately to:
Walking : Riding : Catching = 120 : 50 : 130
By further simplifying this we divide by 10 which gives us:
12 : 5 : 13
So, the correct answer is C
