What is better, many students per teacher or few students per teacher?

anonymous · Answer

many students per teacher

mathstudent55 · Answer

I would say that most teachers, parents, and students would consider a low number of students per teacher to be better. This way the teacher has more time to dedicate to each student.

mathstudent55 · Answer

Let's find in each case what the ratio is of students per teacher.

448 students and 32 teachers
is a ratio of $\dfrac{448}{32} $ which reduces to $\dfrac{14}{1}$ or 14 students per teacher.

234 students and 18 teachers
is a ratio of $\dfrac{234}{18} $ which reduces to $\dfrac{13}{1}$ or 13 students per teacher.
