Using proportions, it is found that 15 teachers will need to be hired to maintain the student : teacher ratio.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the ratio means that 1 teacher is needed for 9 students. How many teachers are needed for 135 students?

The <em>rule of three</em> is:

1 teacher - 9 students

x teachers - 135 students

Applying cross multiplication:

9x = 135

x = \frac{135}{9}

x = 15

15 teachers will need to be hired to maintain the student : teacher ratio.
