Answer 1

To find the ratio of students to teachers, you can divide the number of students by the number of teachers.

There are 1,200 students and 40 teachers.

The ratio of students to teachers is:

1,200 students : 40 teachers

To simplify this ratio, divide both numbers by 40:

1,200 ÷ 40 = 30
40 ÷ 40 = 1

Thus, the simplified ratio of students to teachers is 30 to 1.

So, the correct answer is **30 to 1**.
