Question

There is one principal to every 35 teachers. Write a ratio of principals to teachers.Then find one equivalent fraction for the number of principals to the number of teachers.

Answer 1

The ratio is 1:35 and the equivalent fraction is 2/70.

Explanation:

It is given that, there is 1 principal to every 35 teachers.

It means that the ratio of principal to teachers is 1:35.

It can be also written as
`1:35=(1)/(35)`

For equivalent fraction multiply both numerator and denominator by 2. So,

`(1)/(35)=(1* 2)/(35* 2)\\\\=(2)/(70)`

Hence, the ratio is 1:35 and the equivalent fraction is 2/70.
