1. Calculate the initial passengers on the bus:
\frac{5}{7}C
2. First stop changes:
- Passengers getting on: \frac{3}{5}C
- Passengers getting off: \frac{1}{4}C
New passenger count:
\frac{5}{7}C + \frac{3}{5}C - \frac{1}{4}C = \frac{149}{140}C
3. Second stop changes:
- Passengers getting off: \frac{1}{3}C
New passenger count:
\frac{149}{140}C - \frac{1}{3}C = \frac{307}{420}C
4. Third stop changes:
- Passengers getting on: \frac{3}{6}C = \frac{1}{2}C
- Passengers getting off: \frac{1}{8}C
Final passenger count:
\frac{307}{420}C + \frac{210}{420}C - \frac{52.5}{420}C = \frac{929}{840}C
5. Check for seats left and standing passengers:
- Total passengers are \frac{929}{840}C , which is greater than \( C \).
Fraction of passengers standing:
\frac{\frac{929}{840}C - C}{\frac{929}{840}C} = \frac{89}{929}
The bus is over capacity, and \( \frac{89}{929} \) of the passengers must stand.
