On the last field trip, there were 5 parent chaperones and 24 students. What is the ratio of students to chaperones?
To determine the ratio of students to chaperones, you need to divide the number of students by the number of chaperones.
In this case, there were 24 students and 5 chaperones. So, the ratio of students to chaperones can be calculated as follows:
Ratio of students to chaperones = Number of students / Number of chaperones
= 24 students / 5 chaperones
= 4.8 students per chaperone
Therefore, the ratio of students to chaperones is 4.8 students per chaperone.
