    91 divided by 5 = 18.2 (the ratio of students to teachers)

    12,285 divided by 18.2 = 675 (the number of professors)

    Why is this under higher education when this is a simple math problem kids should be able to do by middle school. It's not even algebra, just basic arithmetic operations.
