c = corridor
t = teachers
h = hall monitors

"2 hall monitors for every corridor"
2c = h
"4 teachers for every 12 hall monitors"
4h = 12t

"school has 24 corridors"
c = 24

Solve for t.

Do you mean dyslexic? 
Anyway...
You have these formulas:
c = 24
2c = h
4h = 12t

Plug in.
2(24) = h

Solve for t.
Do you understand now?
