the whole population is divided into 65,011 as a group of 15 members. so 65,011 groups containing 15 are there.

so the no. of persons from each group is also 65011.

Answer 2

Given:

Population=975165

To find:

The number of teachers

Solution:

The required number of teachers is 65,011.

We can calculate the number by dividing the town's population by 15.

We know that 1 out of every 15 people is a teacher.

So, 1/15 of the town's population will be a teacher.

So, the required number of teachers in the town=Town's population×1/15

Using the values, we get

=975165×1/15

=65011×15/15

=65,011

Therefore, the required number of teachers is 65,011.
