There are 3,525 freshmen at a university. All freshman must attend one orientation session, and there are 15 different sessions to choose from. If the same number of students are assigned to each orientation session, how many freshmen will each group include?

1 answer

To find out how many freshmen will be assigned to each orientation session, we need to divide the total number of freshmen by the number of orientation sessions.

Given:

  • Total freshmen = 3,525
  • Total orientation sessions = 15

We perform the division:

\[ \text{Number of freshmen per session} = \frac{3525}{15} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \frac{3525}{15} = 235 \]

Thus, each orientation session will include 235 freshmen.
