The constant of proportionality between the number of children on the field trip and the number of teachers on the trip is 14/3 there are 70 children on a field trip how many teachers are on the trip
Make a proportion and solve: 14/3=70/x
Tell me what you get.
15?
You got it! Good job.
thank you
Yes, 15;
You are welcome!
Because that would be cheating.
To find the number of teachers on the trip, we need to use the constant of proportionality between the number of children and the number of teachers. The constant of proportionality is given as 14/3.
Let's set up a proportion to solve this problem. The proportion can be written as:
(Number of children) / (Number of teachers) = (Constant of proportionality)
Plugging in the given values, we have:
70 / (Number of teachers) = 14/3
To solve for the number of teachers, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
70 * 3 = 14 * (Number of teachers)
210 = 14 * (Number of teachers)
Dividing both sides of the equation by 14:
(Number of teachers) = 210 / 14
Simplifying, we find:
(Number of teachers) = 15
Therefore, there are 15 teachers on the field trip.
