At a certain middle school, there are 26 students per teacher in every homeroom. Is the total number of students proportional to the number of teachers?

Respuesta :

Yes, because the proportion would be 26:1.

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students be [tex]a[/tex] and number of teachers be [tex]b[/tex]

As there are 26 students per teacher in every homeroom in the middle school, this can be written in expression as:

[tex]a = 26b[/tex]

now, this can be converted into proportionality expression considering 26 as constant of proportionality and will be written as:

[tex]a \propto b[/tex]

hence we can say that total number of students in middle school is proportional to total number of teachers
