School A has 480 students and 16 classrooms, School B has 192 students and 12 classrooms.
How many students would have to transfer from School A to School B for the ratios of students to classrooms at both schools to be the same? Explain your answer.

Is there a shorter way to solve this problem than the equation that was given.
You're kidding??!!
A shorter way than this??
"If x students transfer,
(480-x)/16 = (192+x)/12
x = 96
I don't think so.
