Question

there are 234 students in 9 different classrooms. what is the ratio of students to classrooms?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the quantities

We have 234 students and 9 classrooms. The ratio of students to classrooms is the number of students divided by the number of classrooms, expressed as a ratio.
So we write the ratio as \( \frac{234}{9} \).

Step2: Simplify the ratio

Simplify \( \frac{234}{9} \). Divide 234 by 9: \( 234\div9 = 26 \). So the simplified ratio is \( 26:1 \) (or \( \frac{26}{1} \)).

Answer:

The ratio of students to classrooms is \( 26:1 \) (or 26 to 1).
