A unicorn daycare center requires there to be 2 supervisors for every 18 unicorns.Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of supervisors (n) and the number of unicorns (u).Please note that this is a magical daycare center, so fractional supervisors are allowed.
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: The number of supervisors are 9 times the number of unicorns.Step-by-step explanation:Let the number of supervisors be 'n'.Let the number of unicorns be 'u'.According to question, a unicorn daycare center requires there to be 2 supervisors for every 18 unicorns.So, Mathematically, it is expressed as [tex]\dfrac{n}{u}=\dfrac{2}{18}\\\\\dfrac{n}{u}=\dfrac{1}{9}\\\\9n=u[/tex]so, we established the relationship between the number of supervisors and number of unicorns.Hence, the number of unicorns are 9 times the number of supervisors.
