21 chaperones are needed for 420 students.
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of juniors = 148
No. of seniors = 272
Total = 148+272 = 420 students
3 chaperones = 60 students
1 chaperone = 
Ratio of chaperon to students = 1:20
Let,
x be the number of chaperons for 420 students.
Ration of chaperones to students = x:420
Using proportion
Ratio of chaperones to students :: Ratio of chaperons to students

Product of mean = Product of extreme

Dividing both sides by 20

21 chaperones are needed for 420 students.

he bought 34 pencils which I suppose aren't already sharpened

so the ratio would be 16:18
but if u need to simplify it would be 8:9
