Answer:
54 teachers
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
The ratio of teachers to students on a field trip to New York City is 2 to 9.
That is the ratio is 2:9
We are told that there are 243 students
Required
We want to find the number of teachers
Step two:
Applying the part to part method we have
let the number of teachers be x
2/9= x/243
cross multiply we have
9x= 243*2
9x= 486
divide both sides by 9
x= 54
Hence there are 54 teachers
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
5 more than twice a number
(A number)=variable=x
2x+5<20
Subtract 5 from both sides
2x<15
Divide by 2
x<7.5
Any number below 7.5 (can't be 7.5 though)
It is 1,000 bigger than the one in the tens place. 5,000 compared to 50
