The student-to-faculty ratio at a small college is 17:3. The total number of students and faculty is 74. How many faculty members are there at the college? How many students are there?

There are 62.9 students and 11.1 teachers.
Weird, I know. But my math is bullet-proof.

The college has 11 faculty members and 63 students. This is based on the student-to-faculty ratio of 17:3, which allows us to solve using the total number of individuals, 74. By calculating, we find the rounded numbers of faculty and students respectively.
