Last year there were 221 students and 12 teachers at Hilliard School. This year there are 272 students. The principal wants to keep the same student to teacher ratio as last year. Which proportion can the principal use to find x, the number of teacher needed this year?

3264:221

Step-by-step explanation:

If by last year there were 221 students and 12 teachers at Hilliard School, then;

221students = 12teachers

To find the equivalent ratio for 272students, we can say;

272students = x teachers

Divide both expressions

221/272 = 12/x

Cross multiply

221 * x = 272 * 12

221x = 3264

x = 3264/221

x = 3264:221

This gives the required proportion
