Question

The ratio of Spanish students to French students at a high school is 3:2. Which statement is true?

A: There are 2 Spanish students for every 3 French students.
B: 2/3 of the total of French and Spanish students are French students.
C: The number of Spanish students is 1.5 times the number of French students.
D: If there is a total of 100 French and Spanish students, 32 of them are Spanish students.

Answer 1

I'd go with "The number of Spanish students is 1.5 times the number of French students. "
Since you multiply \(1.5\) Spanish students by French students, so if there are 100 students, the number of french students are 40, so the number of Spanish students should be 60
