Question

The ratio of parents to teachers is 1:4 respectively.if there are 24 teachers, how many parents are there

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of teachers = 24

Ratio = 1:4

let no of parents be x

given,

no of parents ÷ no of teachers = 1/4

x/24=1/4

4x = 24

x = 6

Answer 2

Given :

• Ratio of parents to teachers = 1 : 4

• Teachers = 24

To find :

• No.of. parents

Solution :

We don't know the correct no.of. parents / teachers.

So, Let's assume

• Parents = ' x '

• Teachers = ' y '

Value of ' y ' = 24 { given }

Ratio will be = 1x : 4y

Solving :

= 1 / x = 4 / 24

= 1 / x = 6

= x = 6 / 1

= x = 6
