John is looking for a school with a low student-teacher ratio. The school A has 150 students and 15 teachers. The school B has 75 students and 5 teachers. Which school has the lower student-teacher ratio?

Answer 1

To determine which school has a lower student-teacher ratio, we can calculate the ratio for each school.

For School A:

• Number of students = 150
• Number of teachers = 15
• Student-teacher ratio = Number of students / Number of teachers = 150 / 15 = 10

For School B:

• Number of students = 75
• Number of teachers = 5
• Student-teacher ratio = Number of students / Number of teachers = 75 / 5 = 15

Now we can compare the two ratios:

• School A has a student-teacher ratio of 10.
• School B has a student-teacher ratio of 15.

Since a lower student-teacher ratio is preferred, School A has the lower student-teacher ratio of 10.
