the teacher student ratio is 3:20. if there are 6 teachers how many kids can attend? if there are 5 teachers how many kids can attend?​

Part 1

if there are 6 teachers how many kids can attend?

Applying proportion

3/20=6/x

solve for x

rewrite

20/3=x/6

x=(20/3)*6

x=40 students

Part 2

if there are 5 teachers how many kids can attend?​

apllying proportion

3/20=5/x

rewrite

20/3=x/5

solve for x

x=(20/3)*5

x=100/3

x=33.33

therefore

the answer is 33
