Question

I need help on a problem. and its a word problem dealing with ratios

Answer 1

There is 1 faculty member per 15 students

To find how many faculty members are given that there are 675 students, we can use the next proportion:

`\frac{1\text{ faculty member}}{x\text{ faculty members}}=\frac{15\text{ students}}{675\text{ students}}`

Solving for x,

`\begin{gathered} 1\cdot675=15\cdot x \\ (675)/(15)=x \\ 45=x \end{gathered}`

There are 45 faculty members
