Answer:87

For every 17 students, there is 1 teacher. So you divide 1476 by 17= 86.8235... Round that up to 87 (cause you can’t have 86 and 1/6 of a teacher )

Answer:

82

Step-by-step explanation:

For a total (teacher and students) of 17 + 1 = 18, there is one teacher.

We have to find out how many teachers are there in 1476.

Set up the proportion : Number of teachers / Total number (of teachers and students)

Number of teachers / 1476 = 1 / 18

Number of teachers x 18 = 1476 x 1 = 1476

Number of teachers = 1476 / 18 = 82
