The student-to-faculty ratio at a small college is 17:3. The total number of students and faculty is 740.

How many faculty members are there at the college? How many students?

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 37 ∗ 17 = 629 - total number of students 3 ∗ 17 = 51 - total number of faculty
