Question 104

Many schools have a recommended students teachers ratio as 35:1.
Next year, school expects an increase in enrollment by 280 students.
How many new teachers will they appoint to maintain the students -teachers ratio?

Answer 1

Given, the students- teachers ratio = 35:1
Also, the increase in the number of students = 280
Let the increase in the number of teachers = x
Hence,
$=\frac{280}{x}=\frac{35}{1}$
$\Rightarrow x=8teachers$
