Let's start by understanding what we want to solve here, which is the ratio of students to teachers. The ratio helps us understand how many students are there for each teacher.
We have:

84 students
6 teachers

To find out how many students per teacher there are, we divide the total number of students by the total number of teachers. This gives us the ratio of students to teachers.
So, we will calculate this ratio as:
Students / Teachers = Student per Teacher ratio
Plug in the numbers:
84 (students) / 6 (teachers) = 14 students per teacher
So, in this class trip, there are 14 students for each teacher.

There are 14 students for each teacher on this class trip. This is calculated by dividing the total number of students (84) by the total number of teachers (6). Thus, the ratio of students to teachers is 14:1.
