The faculty members of the college.
Step-by-step Explanation
Given
The student-to-faculty ratio at a small college is 17:3.
The total number of students and faculty is 740.
Let us consider the student and faculty as 17x and 3x.
- 17x + 3x = 740
⟹ 17x + 3x = 740
⟹ 20x = 740
⟹ x = 740/20
⟹ x = 74/2
⟹ x = 37
∴ The faculty is -
⟹ 3x
⟹ 3 × 37
⟹ 111
The required number is 111.
Now, Let's verify!!!
On putting the value of x .
⟹ 17x + 3x = 740
⟹ 17 × 37 + 3 × 37 = 740
⟹ 629 + 111 = 740
⟹ 740 = 740
