Answer:

2,200

Explanation:

From the above, we were given that;

Total students in Christine's middle school = 900

Teachers in Christine's middle school = 45 teachers

Local high school = 110 teachers

Then, we can write an equation ratio and solve it.

900 students / X = 45 teachers / 110 teachers

If we cross multiply, we'll get

900 × 110 = 45 × X

45X = 99,000

Divide both sides by 45

45X/45 = 99,000/45

X = 2,200

Therefore, Christine would find 2,200 students when she gets to high school.
