Question

There are 3 counselors for every 45 students at

Camp Rook. What is the maximum number of
students allowed if there are 11 counselors?
A) 15 students
B) 165 students
C) 150 students
D) 170 students

Answer 1

3counselors = 45 students

11counselors = x

Therefore;.

`(11)/(3) * 45`

45 can be divided by 3 15 times so;

`(11)/(1) * 15`

`165`

Therefore; 165 students will be allowed if there were only 11 counselors.

Answer 2

3/45 = 11/x
Solve for x

3x = 495

X = 165

The answer is B
