Question

At many colleges, the number of "full-time-equivalent" students f is given by f=n over 15 At many colleges, the number of "full-time-equivalent" students f is given by where n is the total number of credits for which students have enrolled in a given semester. Determine the number of full-time-equivalent students on a campus in which students registered for a total of 26,460 credits.

Answer 1

Direct substitute 26460 for N and solve for F.

F = (26460)/15 = 1764 Fulltime Equivalent students.

Now solve for "N", just multiply both sides by 15 so that 15 cancels on the N side.

F = N/15

15(F) = (15)(N/15)

15F = N
