Question

the ratio of students to teachers is 24:1. if there are 4 teachers, how many people will there be in the classrooms ?

Answer 1

we can express the ratio 24:1 as the fraction:

`(24)/(1)`

This fraction describes the number of students per teacher.

by multiplying this fraction by 4, we get the number of students that there will be if there are 4 teachers:

`(24)/(1)*4=24*4=96`

Then, there will be 96 students
