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
