1) There are 3 adults per 15 students, so you can make a ratio 3adults/15students.
2) Next, set up the second ratio and combine where 3adults/15students = X/125students. X is the number of adults needed.
3) Arrange the equation by cross muliplying and you get 375 = 15X
4) X= 25 adults

15/125 = 8.333 groups of 15 students
8.33 x 3 (chaperons) = 24.99 rounded 25
