Question

There were 594 students enrolled in a freshman-level chemistry class. By the end of the semester, the number of students who passed was 5 times the number of students who failed. Find the number of students who passed and the number who failed. Number of students who passed Number of students who failed

Answer 1

Don't know if this is correct but consider this

Explanation:

Since the number of students who passed is 5 times more, let no students who failed be x and no students who passed be 5x. X+5x= 6x

594/6=x

x=99

Number of students who failed=99

passed=495
