Let's denote the total number of college students as T. We know that 39% of all college students were enrolled part-time, or in other words, 39% of T is equal to 6.3 million. We can set up the equation:
0.39T = 6.3 million
To solve for T, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.39:
T = 6.3 million / 0.39
T ≈ <<6300000/0.39=16153846.15>>16,153,846.15
Rounding to the nearest million, the total number of college students is approximately 16 million. Answer: \boxed{16}.
In a recent year, 39% of all college students were enrolled part time. If 6.3 million college students were enrolled part-time that year, what was the total number of college students? Round your answer to the nearest million.
