Question

A college has a student to teacher ratio of 25 to 2. If there are 176 teachers at the college, how many students attend the college?

Answer 1

Hey!

You can make a proportion:

$\frac{25}{2} = \frac{x}{176}$

Cross multiply

$176 \times 25 = 4,400$

Divide by 2

$4,400 \div 2 = 2,200$

$\framebox{2,200 students attend the college}$

Good luck and hope this helps! :)
