<PRE><B>Question 104578</B>
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?
i GET 9,982 IS THIS CORRECT? 
-----------------------
27.5 to 1 is the same as 27.5x to x where 27.5 is # of students and x the number of teachers.
-------------
EQUATION:
If x = 42, 27.5x = 1155
# of students = 1155
