If a university wants to maintain a 14: 1 ratio between students and teachers, how many teachers would be needed to accommodate 896 students

So we want to know the number of teachers the university should have if the ratio of students to teachers is 14:1 and the number of students is 896. If x is the number of teachers: 14/1=896/x. Now we solve for x: Lets multiply both sides with x: x*(14/1)=896 and divide both sides by 14 and we get: x=896/14 and x=64. So the university should have 64 teachers.

21/2 or 5/2
