In a computer lab, there are 3 computers for every 6 students. How many computers will be needed for 24 students?

Solution

For 6 students, number of computers required = 3

∴ For 1 student, number of computers required = $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$

∴ For 24 students, number of computers required = $24 \times \frac{1}{2}$ = 12 Hence, 12 computers are required for 24 students.
