If the ratio of students to teachers is the 20 to 1 if there are 30 teachers at the school how many students are there

Answer 1

The ratio of students to teachers is 20 to 1.

This ratio can be written as 20 students

1 teacher

Now we create two equivalent ratios that we can use to find the number of students for 30 teachers:

20 students = x students

1 teacher 30 teachers

Since 1 times 30 equals 30 , we can multiply 20 by 30 to determine the number of students at the school:

20 * 30 = 600 students

1 * 30 = 30 teachers

There would be 600 students for 30 teachers.
