    At Falling Creek Middle School, they noticed that 3 out of every 4 buses were on time. If there are a total of 32 buses that drop off at this school, how many buses will NOT be on time.

    If 3/4 are on time, we have 1 - 3/4 are not on time.
    1 = 4/4
    4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4 are not on time
    We multiply 1/4(32) = 8 buses will NOT be on time.
