50 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the number of teachers for a ratio of 1:12

1/12=x/2,400

x=2,400/12=200 teachers

step 2

Find the number of teachers for a ratio of 5:48

5/48=x/2,400

x=2,400*5/48=250 teachers

Find the difference

250-200=50 teachers

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b
