Question

A school requires 2 teachers for every 15 students write a proportion that gives the number of teachers needed for 105 students

Answers

  1. Answer:
    answer is 14 teachers
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Since, the number of teachers decreases so number of teacher will increase. Thus, this is an example direct proportion
    Teacher Student
    2 15
    X 105
    2 / x = 15/105
    2x = 15/105
    x = 15*2/105 [ since 105 divided by 15 its 7]
    x = 7^ * 2
    = 14
