Complete Question

An arts academy requires there to be 3 teachers for every 57 students and 4 tutors for every 44 students. How many students does the academy have per​ teacher? Per​ tutor? How many tutors does the academy need if it has ​121 students?

Answer:

a)19 students per teacher

b)11 students per tutor

c)11 tutors if they have 121 students

Explanation:

An arts academy requires there to be 3 teachers for every 57 students and 4 tutors for every 44 students.

a) How many students does the academy have per​ teacher?

3 teachers for every 57 students

3 teachers = 57 students

1 teacher = x

Cross Multiply

3x = 1 × 57 students

x = 57 students/3

x = 19 students

Hence, we have 19 students per teacher

b) How many students Per​ tutor?

4 tutors for every 44 students.

4 tutors = 44 students

1 tutor = x students

Cross Multiply

4x = 44 × 1

x = 44/4

x = 11 students.

This means that we have 11 students per tutor

c) How many tutors does the academy need if it has ​121 students?

4 tutors for every 44 students.

44 students = 4 tutors

121 students = x

Cross Multiply

x = 121 × 4/44

x = 11 tutors

Hence, the school would need 11 tutors if they have 121 students
