Question

The ratio between the number of children (c) on a field trip and number of teachers (t) on the trips is 14/3. There are 70 children on the field trip. How many teachers are on the grip.

(14/3 is in fraction form)

Answer 1

For this case we have a relationship of the form:

`c / t = 14/3`
There are 70 children on the field trip
Therefore, we must replace the value of c = 70 in the equation.
We have then:

`70 / t = 14/3`
Clearing t, we have:

`t = (3/14) * (70) t = 15`
Answer:
there are 15 teachers on the trip
