Answer:

A

Explanation:

First you do 5/2 to solve the ratio! That equals 2.5 btw. Then you have to selected the answer choice that is equivalent to that. So I just divided all them until I got a radio equal to 2.5! 45/18 equals 2.5 also! Therefore A (45 teachers to 18 students) was the correct choice!
