Question

if you know the ratio of students to teachers is 5 to 1 and you know there are 15 teachers, how many students are there?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio = 5:1

         = 5 / 1

Number of teachers = 15

Lets take the number of students = x

Therefore,

5:1 = x:15

= 5/1 = x/15

x = 15 × 5

  = 75 students
