The problem in the image can be broken down as follows:

- **Two-thirds of the students ride the bus.** 
- **Of the students who do not ride the bus, one-fourth of them ride their bike to school.**

We are asked to find the fraction of the total students that ride their bikes to school.

### Solution:

1. Let the total number of students be represented by \( 1 \) (as a whole).
   
2. The fraction of students who do not ride the bus is:
   \[
   1 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3}
   \]
   So, one-third of the students do not ride the bus.

3. Of the students who do not ride the bus (i.e., \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the total students), one-fourth ride their bikes. Therefore, the fraction of students who ride their bikes is:
   \[
   \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{12}
   \]

Thus, **1/12** of the students ride their bikes to school.
