If 4/5 of the teachers in the meeting occupied 5/6 of the seats in the hall, then the least number of teachers in a meeting could be
Correct answer: C. 24
- A. 5
- B. 6
- C. 24
- D. 25
Explanation
To find the least number of teachers, we need to equate the fractions of teachers and seats. Let T represent the number of teachers. According to the problem:4/5 of the teachers = 5/6 of the seatsAssuming the total number of teachers is T, then 4/5 * T = 5/6 *(total seats). To find the least number of teachers, we need to find the smallest value of T such that both sides are equal. Solving this equation, we find that T = 24 is the smallest number satisfying this condition.Option A (5) and Option B (6) are too small to satisfy the equation, and Option D (25) is more than necessary. Thus, Option C (24) is the correct answer.
