Question

in college there are 12 times as many students as professors. If together the students and professors number 32,500, how many students are there in the college?

Answer 1

The answer is 16,345 students

Answer 2

2708

Explanation:

If there are 12 times as many students as professors all you have to do is divide the amount of students my 12 (32,500/12)

32,500/12 = 2708.3333 (3 keeps repeating)

Obviously there is not 0.333 repeating professors, cant have 0.3 of a professor so just round down to 2708
