Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Student : teacher = 5 : 2

Number of students = 5x

Number of teachers = 2x

Last year:

Last year Total  = 56

5x+  2x = 56

       7x = 56

        x = 56/7

x = 8

Number of students = 5*8 = 40

Number of teachers = 2*8 = 16

This year:Total = 70

5x + 2x = 70

       7x = 70

        x = 70/7

x = 10

Number of students = 5*10 = 50

Number of teachers = 2*10 = 20
