At whitewater junior high school, there are 360 students and 39 teachers. what is the ratio of students to each teacher rounded to the nearest tenth?

1 : 9

as in teachers and students

From teachers to student the ratio is 360:39

39 does not go into 39 but when you divide we get the number 9.22

when dividing 36 from 360 you know that the ratio in students to teacher is 9.2/1 so that would mean that there are 9.2students to every teacher at the middle school.
