Question

258 students enrolled in a freshmen level class by the end of the semester 6 times the number of students passed as failed find the number of students who passed and the number if students who failed

Answer 1

Number of students in total 259

6X number of students that passed

X number of students that failed

Then

X + 6X = 259

7X = 259

X = 259/7 = 37

So then this means

Students succesful 6• 37 = 222

Students failed 37

Total students 222+ 37 = 259 (comprobation)
