Answer:

The answer is: 480 students

Explanation:

- When they are talking about "6 out of 9 students" they are talking about the fraction 6/9.

-Simplifying the fraction equals 2/3

- So, if 2/3 of students are enrolled in physics class, if there are 720 students few are enrolled in Physics.

- 720 * (2/3) = 480

480 students are enrolled in Physics.
