Question

only 2/3 of the school districts kindergarten teachers are women. if 59 are men, how many kindergarten teachers in all are employed by the school district​

Answer 1

To find the total number of kindergarten teachers in the school district, the calculation shows that if 1/3 represents 59 male teachers, then the total number of teachers, which is 3 times that quantity, is 177.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to find out the total number of kindergarten teachers in a school district, given that only 2/3 of them are women, and there are 59 men who are kindergarten teachers. To find the solution, we will need to do a couple of calculations.

First, we must infer that if 2/3 of the kindergarten teachers are women, then the remaining 1/3 must be men, because 1 -(2/3) equals 1/3. We know there are 59 male kindergarten teachers, which represents this 1/3. We can set up a proportion to find the total number of teachers (T):

1/3 of T = 59 men

T = 59 men × 3

T = 177

So, the entire number of kindergarten teachers in the school district is 177.

Answer 2

177

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 are women.

that means the remainder, 1/3, are men.

59 = 1/3 of all kindergarten teachers (3/3 = 1 representing the "whole").

so,

59×3 = 177

is the number of all kindergarten teachers employed by the school district.
