A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.
For the given situation,
Total number of people = 754
The ratio of students to teachers = 27:2
Let x be the number of people
then,
⇒ [tex]27x+2x=274[/tex]
⇒ [tex]29x=274[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=\frac{274}{29}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=26[/tex]
Thus number of students = [tex]27x[/tex]
⇒ [tex]27(26)=702[/tex]
and number of teachers = [tex]2x[/tex]
⇒ [tex]2(26)=52[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the number of teachers are 52.
