Question

Fifteen chaperones went on a field trip with 225 students. Which fraction represents the number of chaperones to students on the field trip

Answer 1

15/225

Explanation:

The number of chaperones for the group of students can be represented with a ratio - 15:225 or 15/225.

Because there are 15 chaperones for the 225 students, you can state what the ratio does - for every 225 students, there are 15 chaperones.

However, 15/225 can be reduced to 1/15, so for every 15 students, there is 1 chaperone.
