3:1or 31 or 3 or "3 to 1".
Explanation:
Since there are 54 students and 18 computers, and we need a ratio of students to computers, we don't need to rearrange anything. We can set up the following ratio of 54:18 or 5418. This ratio, however, is not yet reduced to its simplest form. To reduce we can divide both numbers by 18, which results in the ratio 3:1or 31. Depending on personal preference, any of the above ways of writing the ratio can work.
