Since 16 out of 24 kids take the bus, 16/24 kids take the bus. We can reduce this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 8. Now, our fraction becomes 2/3. 2/3 is the number in a fraction.
In order to convert this into a decimal, we divide the numerator by the denominator. 2/3 = 0.67, so 0.67 is the decimal.
To convert this to a percentage, we multiply it by 100. 0.67*100 = 67, so the percentage of kids who ride the bus is 67%.
