In an art room, there are three easels for every five children. If there are 25 children, how many easels are there?

Answer :

Given 3 easels for every 5 children

So, there are x easels for 25 children

Using the ratio and the proportional

3 : 5 = x : 25

[tex]\frac{3}{5}=\frac{x}{25}[/tex]

so, solve for x

[tex]x=\frac{3\cdot25}{5}=\frac{75}{5}=15[/tex]

So, the number of easels for 25 children = 15 easels
