[Math] Composition of Riemann integrable and continuous function is integrable

calculusriemann-integration

Prove that if $f : [a,b] \to [c,d]$ is Riemann integrable , and $g: [c,d] \to \mathbb{R}$ is continuous then $g\circ f$ is integrable.

By Lebesgue we know because $f$ is integrable then $f$ must be discontinuous on at most a set of measure zero, so I need to show that $g\circ f$ is continuous except for at most a set of discontinuous points of measure zero.

I need some hints on how to do that, please help.

Hint:

If $f$ is continuous at $x$ and $g$ is continuous at $f(x)$, then $g\circ f$ is continuous at $x$.
