The ratio between the number of children (c) on a field trip and number of teachers (t) on the trips is 14/3. There are 70 children on the field trip. How many teachers are on the grip.
(14/3 is in fraction form)
For this case we have a relationship of the form: [tex]c / t = 14/3
[/tex] There are 70 children on the field trip Therefore, we must replace the value of c = 70 in the equation. We have then: [tex]70 / t = 14/3
[/tex] Clearing t, we have: [tex]t = (3/14) * (70)
t = 15[/tex] Answer: there are 15 teachers on the trip
