The number of teachers is directly proportional to the number of students. When there are 224 students, there are 14 teachers. how many teachers are there when there are 368 students?
- A.
21 teachers
- B.
23 teachers
- C.
25 teachers
- D.
27 teachers
Correct Answer
B. 23 teachersExplanation
The given information states that the number of teachers is directly proportional to the number of students. This means that as the number of students increases, the number of teachers also increases proportionally.
To find the number of teachers when there are 368 students, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
224 students corresponds to 14 teachers.
So, if we set up the proportion:
224 students / 14 teachers = 368 students / x teachers
Cross-multiplying, we get:
224x = 14 * 368
Simplifying, we find:
x = (14 * 368) / 224
Calculating this, we get x ≈ 23.
Therefore, when there are 368 students, there will be approximately 23 teachers.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. X = -4Explanation
To solve the equation 3(x+6) = 6, we need to distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses. This gives us 3x + 18 = 6. Next, we can subtract 18 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term. This gives us 3x = -12. Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x, which gives us x = -4. Therefore, the correct answer is x = -4.Rate this question:
