You can put this solution on YOUR website! If there are 60 students for every 9 adults on school field trips, how many adults should there be for 80 students?
----
Use a proportion:
adults/students = adults/students
---------------------------------
a/80 = 9/60
-----
a = (80*9)/60
a = 12 (# of adults for 80 students)
