Question

In sacramento county, there are 80 teachers to every 4 teacher assistants. if there are 33,500 teachers, how many teacher assistants are there in the county?

Answer 1

For this case we can make the following rule of three:
80 teachers -----------------> 4 teacher assistants
33500 teachers ------------> x
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:

`x = (33500/80) * (4) x = 1675`
Therefore we have 1675 teacher assistants in the county.
Answer:
There are 1675 teacher assistants in the county.
