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.
