Question

A college has a student to teacher ratio of 25 to 2. If there are 176 teachers at the college, how many students attend the college?

Answer 1

Hey!

You can make a proportion:

`(25)/(2) = (x)/(176)`

Cross multiply

`176 * 25 = 4,400`

Divide by 2

`4,400 / 2 = 2,200`

`\framebox{2,200 students attend the college}`

Good luck and hope this helps! :)
