Your school has a student to teacher ratio of 18:1

Question

. What is the effect of the student to teacher ratio if the ratio changes to 36:2
.

Enter 1 for “The number of students has increased.”
Enter 2 for “The number of students has decreased.”
Enter 3 for “There is no change in the number of students.”(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine the effect of the change in the student to teacher ratio from 18:1 to 36:2, we can simplify both ratios.

The ratio 36:2 simplifies to 18:1 (by dividing both sides by 2), which means there is actually no change in the student to teacher ratio.

So the correct answer is:
3 for “There is no change in the number of students.”
