A total of 1200 students attend a top view high school
The ratio of teachers to students is 1:30.
How may teachers are there at the school?
Dont want the ans just the working
Set up a proportion (ratio) and cross multiply. Solve for x.
1 / 30 = x / 1200
50
40
5 4900
To find out how many teachers are at the school, we need to use the given ratio of teachers to students, which is 1:30.
The ratio tells us that for every 1 teacher, there are 30 students.
To calculate the number of teachers, we divide the total number of students by the number of students per teacher in the ratio.
So, to find the number of teachers at the school:
Number of teachers = Total number of students / Number of students per teacher
Number of teachers = 1200 / 30
By dividing 1200 by 30, we find that there are 40 teachers at the school.
