The student-to-faculty ratio at a small college is 17:3. The total of students and faculty is 740. How many faculty members are there at the college? How many students?

Sagot :

To solve it we can add 17 + 3
17+3=20
It says that we have to divide 740 into 20 parts
740:40=37
Now we have to multiply 37 bye 17 and by 3 to see the result
[tex]37*17=629[/tex] - total number of students
[tex]3*17=51[/tex] - total number of faculty
