In an art classroom, 8 students can sit around 1 table, and 48 students can sit around 6 tables. What is the relationship between the number of students to tables in fraction form? Write the proportion in fraction form without reducing it to the lowest terms.

1 answer

The relationship between the number of students to tables can be expressed as a fraction. Let's use "S" to represent the number of students and "T" to represent the number of tables.

From the given information, we know that 8 students can sit around 1 table. So, for 1 table, "S" would be 8.

Similarly, we know that 48 students can sit around 6 tables. So, for 6 tables, "S" would be 48.

Therefore, the proportion in fraction form is:

S/T = 8/1 = 48/6
