I believe it would be 18u/2n or maybe 2n:18u or 18u:2n

Hope this helped

Let the number of supervisors be n and the number of unicorns be u .

It is given there are 2 supervisors for every 18 unicorns.

The equation that shows the relationship between the number of supervisors (n) and the number of unicorns (u) is :For every 2 supervisors there are 18 unicorns .The question is asking to write an equation for n and U.

2U=18n

Or u=9n.
