Answer 1

1:6 For the first answer then there is 4 more caretakers

Answer 2

The ratio is 1 every 6, or 1/6. The answer is 4 more care takers

Explanation:

The reason Why is there are 1 care takers every six children. Equation was 48 divided by 8 to find the ratio. Then, add the amount of children being added to the amount already existent. Divide that by 6, (or the denominator of the ratio), to find that there needs to be 12 caretakers in all. Subtract that by 8 and you find how many need to be hired. The answer is 4. Your welcome.
