Question

There is one principal to every 35 teachers. Write a ratio of principals to teachers.Then find one equivalent fraction for the number of principals to the number of teachers.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio is 1:35 and the equivalent fraction is 2/70.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, there is 1 principal to every 35 teachers.

It means that the ratio of principal to teachers is 1:35.

It can be also written as $1:35=\dfrac{1}{35}$

For equivalent fraction multiply both numerator and denominator by 2. So,

$\dfrac{1}{35}=\dfrac{1\times 2}{35\times 2}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{70}$

Hence, the ratio is 1:35 and the equivalent fraction is 2/70.
