Question

Curtis School has 1,575 students the student to teacher ratio is 15 to 1 how many teachers are at curtis school

Answer 1

Hi there.

We want to find out how many times we are going to multiple 15 to get 1,575. When we know this, we can just multiple the product by 1 to get the number of teachers.

1,575 ÷ 15 = 105

Cool. So now we know that 15 goes into 1,575 that amount of times.

Let's multiply by 1.

105 · 1 = 105

The ratio of students to teachers is 1,575:105

We can check our work by dividing both numbers by the GCF.
