We want to find a proportional relationship between the number of pilots and aircraft, and use that to find the number of aircrafts for a given number of pilots.

We can expect to have 94 aircrafts if there are 250 pilots.

Let's see how to get that.

We start by defining what a proportional relationship is.

A proportional relationship between two variables x and y can be written as:

y = k*x

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

Here we do know that there are 40 pilots for every 15 aircrafts, then we can replace these values in the general proportional equation, where x will be the number of aircrafts and y the number of pilots.

40 = k*15

40/15 = k

Now we know the proportional relationship:

y = (40/15)*x

Now to find the number of aircrafts given that we have 250 pilots, we just need to replace the number of pilots by 250 and solve for x:

250 = (40/15)*x

250*(15/40) = x = 93.75

We can round this to the next whole number, 94.

So we can expect to have 94 aircrafts if there are 250 pilots.
