NISA [10]
First, let's write down this inequality:
<span>There are at least 245 students enrolled in the school.

 y≥245

This inequality says what the sentence says!

now, the number of teachers must be:
x≥2*(y/25)
 (two times the number of groups of students of 25!)

so those two inequalities, taken together will be the answer!

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

If you simplify what the question is saying, it's basically..

8 is 24% of <u>what number?</u>

To find out, you can simply set up an equation.

((24% = 0.24 as a decimal (move the decimal point two times to the left))

8 = 0.24 x N (N is just the 'whole')

To solve, you just need to divide 8 ÷ 0.24. So, N = 33.333 repeating.

The question says to round to the nearest whole number, so the answer would just be 33.
