A preschool classroom has 24 students and 3 teachers. What is the ratio of students to teachers?

A. 1/8

B. 8/1

C. 9/1

D. 1/9

The ratio of students to teachers, is B, 8/1.

This is because if there are 24 students and 3 teachers, and you need to know the amount of students there would be per teacher, you divide both given numbers by 3.

24 divided by 3 is 8 (representing students)

and 3 divided by 3 is 1 (representing teachers)

Thus, the answer is 8/1

B, because the ratio not simplified is 24:3 and if you simplify that you have to divide 24 by 3 which is 8 and 3 divided by 3 is 1 so the answer is 8/1
