111

Explanation:

It is given that the student to faculty ratio at a small college is 17:3.

Let number of students and faculty members are 17x and 3x respectively.

It is given that total number of students and faculty is 740.

`17x+3x=740`

`20x=740`

Divide both sides by 20.

`x=37`

Number of student
`=17* 37=629`

Number of faculty members
`=3* 37=111`

Therefore, there are 111 faculty members at the college.
