Students can choose French or Spanish as an elective. There are 4 times as many seats for French than there is Spanish. How many students can choose Spanish if there is 250 students?

Answer 1

Let x be the number of students who can choose Spanish.
The number of seats for French is 4x.
The total number of seats for both elective subjects is x + 4x = 250 students.
Combining like terms, we get 5x = 250 students.
Dividing both sides by 5, we get x = <<50=50>>50 students. Answer: \boxed{50}.
