Answer 1

Answer: 38 teachers.

Explanation:

Let the share ratio be x.

So, quantity of teachers = 2x, quantity of male students = 17x,

quantity of female students = 18x.

17x+18x=665

35x=665

Divide the left and right sides of the equation by 35:

х=19.

2x=2*19

2x=38.

Answer 2

2: 35
X 19
38 : 665
