Question

In the sophomore class at Dixon High School, the number of students taking French is two-thirds of the number taking Spanish. How many students are studying each language if the total number of students in French and Spanish is 310?

Answer 1

(2/3)s = f
s+f = 310

s+(2/3)s = 310
(5/3)s = 310
s = 186

(2/3)s = f
(2/3)(186) = f
f=124
