Question

There are 14math teachers and 26 science teachers at school today. What is the ratio of math teachers to math and science teachers at school?

Answer 1

Answer is 7:20

It's basically asking "what is the ratio of math teachers to total teachers?" assuming there are only math and science teachers at this school. For the sake of simplicity, let's just go with that. We have 14 math teachers and 14+26 = 40 teachers total. The ratio of math to total is 14:40 which reduces to 7:20 when we divide both parts of the ratio by the GCF 2.

Answer 2

Answer: 7: 13

The ratio would be 14: 26, however you are most likely asked to simplify it. Which is why the answer would be 7: 13

I hope this helped! :DD
