The income of the 7th grade class has a choice of French or Spanish as a language electric there are three times as many Spanish classes as French classes or three to one how many students can choose Spanish after or 850 students run to the nearest whole number
We can represent the ratio between the number of Spanish classes to French classes as 3:1.
Let's say the total number of French classes is x.
Then the total number of Spanish classes is 3x.
The total number of classes will be x + 3x = 4x.
If there are 850 students, and each class has the same number of students, then the number of students per class is 850 / 4x = 212.5 / x.
We need to find a whole number, so we try different values of x until we find one that gives a whole number for the number of students per class.
If we let x = 2, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 2 = 106.25, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 3, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 3 = 70.83, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 4, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 4 = 53.125, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 5, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 5 = 42.5, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 6, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 6 = 35.42, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 7, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 7 = 30.36, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 8, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 8 = 26.56, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 9, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 9 = 23.61, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 10, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 10 = 21.25, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 11, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 11 = 19.32, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 12, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 12 = 17.71, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 13, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 13 = 16.35, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 14, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 14 = 15.18, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 15, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 15 = 14.17, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 16, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 16 = 13.28, which is not a whole number.
If we let x = 17, the number of students per class is 212.5 / 17 = 12.5, which is a whole number.
Therefore, 17 French classes and 3 * 17 = <<17*3=51>>51 Spanish classes can be chosen, and 17 + 51 = <<17+51=68>>68 students can choose Spanish.
