Question

- The local museum requires 2 adult

chaperones for every 15 students. How
many adults would be needed with
90 students?

Answer 1

12. 90/15 is 6. 6x2 is 12.

Answer 2

For 90 students, 12 adult chaperones are required.

Explanation:

90 (students) divided by 15 gives us a proportion to multiple the amount of adults by.

90/15 = 6

Since there are 6 times as many students as the question provided, we will multiply the amount of adults in the question by 6.

2 x 6 = 12
