1) 2
2) 3
3) 4
4) 5

Answer 1

A cosmetology school with 75 students requires 3 licensed instructors based on the staffing requirements that necessitate one additional instructor for each major portion of 25 students over the first 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

A school of cosmetology must adhere to specific staffing requirements based on the number of enrolled students. The rule states that each school should maintain a staff of at least two licensed instructors, with one additional licensed instructor required for every 25 students over an initial count of 50 students. Based on proportions and ratios, a precise count of instructors needed can be calculated.

For 75 enrolled students, the school would need:

• Two instructors for the first 50 students.
• One more instructor for the 25 (or major portion thereof) students over the initial 50.

Thus, a school with 75 enrolled students would need a total of 3 licensed instructors. It's also important to note that the school must have at least two licensed instructors present at all times while the school is in operation, ensuring not just adequacy but also redundancy in staffing.
