Question 856026: A school has 30 teachers. If the ratio of the number of female teachers to the number of male teachers in the school is 3 : 2; there are 12 male teachers at the school. Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! So there are 30-12 = 18 female teachers. The information about the ratio was not needed, so I'm not sure why they put that in there.
