Denver · Answer 2

There are 12 teachers.

A. the number of teachers in the school

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve the problem

teacher: students

1 : 25

If there are 300 students, we need to multiply by 300/25 = 12

1*12 : 25*12

12 : 300

There are 12 teachers

The most important variable is the number of teachers in the school.

The school may or may not be filled to capacity and the classrooms might not be used.
