OpenStudy (starleeandfelix):

No because the site that my school has me doing this on is no help. It makes me more confused with its explanations.

Okay, well. You wanna start by Multiplying 1/4 by 64. Can you do that?

Correct. Then multiply .625 by 64.

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

The .625 comes from the 5/8.

OpenStudy (starleeandfelix):

.625 x 64 = 40?

OpenStudy (dmezzullo):

Correct. So then add 40 and 16 get 56. Then 64 minus 56 and there's the number of students that haven't gone
