Answer:

629 students and 111 faculty members

Explanation:

The ratio of students to faculty is 17:3, and the total number of individuals is 740.

To find the number of students and faculty, we can use the concept of ratios. The sum of the ratio numbers (17+3) is 20.

So, each 'unit' in this context represents 740/20 = 37 individuals.

Therefore, the number of students is 17 units * 37 = 629 students.

And the number of faculty members is 3 units * 37 = 111 faculty members.
