(enter the number only, without the unit)

Answer 1

380 students is correct Answer

Answer 2

380

Explanation:

First, figure out that in the ratio of 19 : 1, there are 20 people. 400 divided by 20 = 20. This means you have to multiply the number of students in the original ratio (19) by 20 to get the actual amount of students.

19 × 20 = 380 so there are 380 students.
