Question

A school requires 2 teachers for every 15 students write a proportion that gives the number of teachers needed for 105 students

Answer 1

answer is 14 teachers

Explanation:

Since, the number of teachers decreases so number of teacher will increase. Thus, this is an example direct proportion

Teacher Student

2 15

X 105

2 / x = 15/105

2x = 15/105

x = 15*2/105 [ since 105 divided by 15 its 7]

x = 7^ * 2

= 14
