the Ratio of Chaperones to student on a field trip is 2:7. There are 14 Chaperones on the field trip. In all, how many chaperones and students are there?

Answer: 63 people in total

Step-by-step explanation:

if the ratio is 2:7, then there are 2 chaperones per every 7 students. If there are 14 chaperones then 2 * 7 = 14, so you'd multiply 7 * 7 and get 49. Then add 49 and 14.

2:7

14:?

2/7 = 14/?

2 * 7 = 14

7 * 7 = 49

2/7 = 14/49

63

Step-by-step explanation:

If the 2 in the ratio translates to 14, 14/2=7. So the scale factor is 7. Now we multiply the 7 * (Scale Factor) (7) = 49. In the end we add 14+49 to get 63.
