the ratio of male to female students at a campus is 3:5. determine the number of student at the college if there are 360 males students
Let the number of female students be F.
According to the given ratio, the number of male students is 3 times the number of female students.
Given that there are 360 male students and the ratio of male to female students is 3:5, we can write:
360 = 3F
F = 360 / 3
F = 120
Therefore, the number of female students is 120.
The total number of students at the campus is the sum of male and female students:
Total = 360 + 120 = 480
So, there are 480 students at the college.
