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

Answer 1

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.
