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?

Answer 1

To determine how many freshmen will be assigned to each orientation session, we can simply divide the total number of freshmen by the number of orientation sessions.

Given:

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

We calculate the number of freshmen per session as follows:

\[ \text{Freshmen per session} = \frac{\text{Total freshmen}}{\text{Total orientation sessions}} = \frac{3,525}{15} \]

Now, we perform the division:

\[ \frac{3,525}{15} = 235 \]

Thus, each orientation session will include 235 freshmen.
