Question 46751: Student-teacher ratio. The student/teacher ratio for Washington High was reported to be 27.5 to 1. If there are 42 teachers, then how many students are there?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes, because
For every 1 teacher there are (1)(27.5) students.
For every 2 teachers there are (2)(27.5) or 55 students, etc.
This is a proportion problem:
27.5/1 = x/42 [Solve for x students]
(27.5)(42)=1x
1155 =x
