A college information pamphlet provides some statistics about the students and the professors to help high school seniors decide if they want to attend the college. The pamphlet lists the ratio of students to professors as 18 to 1. If there are 702 students at the college, how many professors are there?

39

Step-by-step explanation:

Setting up your problem and solving:

In the question it says the ratio is students to professors right? So 18 to 1.

Write that down: Students to Professors is 18 to 1.

We know that there are 702 students in that college correct?

Write that down: 702 students in the college

We are trying to find how many professors there are so...let's do that.

Number 1:

Set your equation: have your fraction bar and equal sign like this: --- = ---

On the top, we have 1 so... 1/? = ?/?

On the other top we have the x...: 1/? = x/?

Why? Because we do not know the total of professors there are so that is X.

We put the number 1 on the other side because we know that there is only 1 out of 18 professors to students.

Number 2:

On the bottom, we will have 18...: 1/18 = x/?

On the other bottom we have 702...: 1/18 = x/702

Why? Because we know that there is a total number of 18 to 1 students on the ratio and a real total of 702 students.

Number 3.

Now you have your equation set up: 1/18 = x/702

The next step is yours: cross multiple, divide on the bottom or top or find the comparison.

I'm going to divide by the bottom okay? so.. 18/702

Set that up.

(702/18)

702/18 is 39!

SO in the end there is a total of 39 professors!

'x=39'

Hoped this helped! :)
