Question:
There are 500 students in a collage class. The ratios of Business, Accounting and Engineering majors are: 7:8:10.
How many Engineering majors are there in the class?
Thanks, John
Hi John,
7 + 8 + 10 = 25 so you can arrange the 500 students groups of 25 where, in each group, there are 7 Business majors, 8 Accounting majors and 10 Engineering majors.
How many groups of 25 are there? How many Engineering majors are there?
