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
