The total number of easels in the art room is 15
How to determine the number of easels in the art room.
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
three easels for every five children
This means that
Ratio = 3/5
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:
3 easels / 5 children = x easels / 25 children
Cross-multiplying, we get:
3 easels * 25 children = x easels * 5 children
75 = 5x
x = 15
Hence, there are 15 easels in the art room.
