Answer 2

Answer: The number of supervisors are 9 times the number of unicorns.

Explanation:

Let the number of supervisors be 'n'.

Let the number of unicorns be 'u'.

According to question, a unicorn daycare center requires there to be 2 supervisors for every 18 unicorns.

So, Mathematically, it is expressed as

`(n)/(u)=(2)/(18)\\\\(n)/(u)=(1)/(9)\\\\9n=u`

so, we established the relationship between the number of supervisors and number of unicorns.

Hence, the number of unicorns are 9 times the number of supervisors.
