  1. Open and buffer Subway Entrances by 500 feet. Since the file is using 4326, you'll first need to save a copy of it (right-click, Export > Save Features As, change the CRS).
  2. Open the shapefile in Public_School_Locations.
  3. How many of the schools are within 500 feet of a subway entrance? Use Vector > Research Tools > Select by location and select schools that intersect with the buffered layer.
