Question

The ratio of chaperones to students on a field trip to New York City is 2 to 11. If there are 297 students on the trip, how many chaperones are there?

Answer 1

297/11 = 27

So we have 27 groups of 11 students. If there are 2 chaperones for every 11 students, then we can do:

27x2=54

There are 54 chaperones on the field trip.
