Divide 35 and 2. then times your answer by 174

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You there?

OpenStudy (bohotness):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Student : Teacher = 35 : 2\]

OpenStudy (bohotness):

30.45

So, always use the given ratio to let the variables for your question..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let the students be : \(35 x\) Let the teachers be : \(2x\)

OpenStudy (bohotness):

c xd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, teachers you are given that, total they are \(174\).. So: \[2x = 174 \implies x = 87\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have found \(x\), now find the number of students..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

randomkatey is absolutely right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could do both ways \[35\div2=17.5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[17.5\times174=3,045\]
