HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

24

Step-by-step:

132/11 (132 divide by 11)

=12

12*2 (12multiply by 2)

=24

Answer 2

24

Explanation:

132 pupils are represented by 11 parts of the ratio

Dividing 132 by 11 gives the value of one part of the ratio

132 ÷ 11 = 12 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, hence

2 parts = 2 × 12 = 24 ← number of teachers on trip
