Answer 2

Answer: 2975

Explanation:

Given : A college has a student to teacher ratio of 35 to 2. (1)

Let x be the number of students attend the college.

Then, the ratio of x students to 170 teachers will be
`(x)/(170)` (2)

From (1) and (2), we have

`(x)/(170)=(35)/(2)`

Multiply 170 on both sides , we get

`x=(35*170)/(2)=2975`

Therefore, the number of students attend the college = 2975
