At Whitewater Junior High School, there are 360 students and 39 teachers. What is the ratio of students to each teacher rounded to the nearest tenth? a. 1:9.2 c. 120:13 b. 9.2:1 d. 13:120
The correct answer is B because ratios are basically fractions and if you divide 360/39 you get 9.23076...... and when you round it you get 9.2 So in simple words 1 teacher:9.2 students even though that's not physically possible.
