Question

In a computer lab, there are 3 computers for every 6 students. How many computers will be needed for 24 students ?
(plss type steps...)​

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of computers needed for 6 students = 6

No. of computers needed for 1 student = 3 / 6

                                                                 = 1 / 2

No. of computers needed for 24 students = 24 x 1 / 2

                                                                      = 24 / 2

                                                                      = 12 (answer)

Therefore, 12 computers will be needed for 24 students.

Answer 2

$\huge\purple{Required \: Answer :}$

The Number of Computers needed for 24 Students is $\huge\bf{12}$

$\huge\red{Explanation :}$

Given :

Number of computers for each 6 students - 3

To Find :

Number of computers needed for 24 students - ?

Solution :

Let, The number of computers needed for 24 student be ' x '

Hence, From Given Condition :

Ratio of - $\frac{no. \: of \: \: computer}{no. \: of \: student \: } = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$

Similarly,

For 24 Students :

$\frac{no. \: of \: computer}{no. \: of \: student} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \frac{x}{24} = \frac{1}{2} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x = \frac{24}{2} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: x = 12$

Therefore, The Number of computers needed for 24 students is 12.
