Answer:

1500 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

                                Teachers / Students  =  3 / 5

                                     Teachers  /  2,500  =  3 / 5

To solve a proportion,

you cross-multiply:            Teachers x 5  =  2,500 x 3

Divide each side by  5 :     Teachers  =  2,500 x 3 / 5

                                                                 =  1500     ===>  1500 teachers
