Write and solve an equation of ratios:

900 students      45 teachers         
------------------  = -----------------  
          x               110 teachers     

Cross multiplying, we get (900)(110) / 45, or

                                                                 
so x = # of students in the high school = 2200   (answer)

Answer:

Option C. 2200 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of teachers in middle school = 45

Number of students in middle school = 900

\text{Ratio of students to teacher in middle school = }\frac{900}{45}

Number of teachers in Local high school = 110

Let number of students in local high school = x

\text{Ratio of students to teacher in local high school = }\frac{x}{110}

But, according too the question, both the ratios are given proportional to each other.

⇒ Ratio of students to teacher in middle school = Ratio of students to teacher in local high school

\implies \frac{900}{45}=\frac{x}{110}\\\\\implies x=\frac{110\times 900}{45}\\\\\implies x = 2200

Hence, number of students required in the local high school = 2200

Therefore, Option C. 2200 is correct

At a competition with 8 runners, 2 medals are awarded for first and second
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation :

Since we have given that

Number of medals = 2

Number of runners = 8

We need to find the number of ways to award the medals.

We would use "fundamental theorem of counting" to find the number of ways.

So, number of ways is given by

8 × 7 = 56

Hence, option 'A' is correct.
