B. 210 classrooms
C. 214 classrooms
I D. 218 classrooms

Answer 1

214 classrooms

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of classrooms needed if 3210 students enroll in the first semester, we can use the ratio of classrooms to students which is 1:15. This means that for every 15 students, 1 classroom is needed. We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of classrooms:

1 classroom / 15 students = x classrooms / 3210 students

Cross multiplying, we get:

15 * x = 1 * 3210

x = 3210 / 15

x = 214

Therefore, 214 classrooms are needed if 3210 students enroll in the first semester.
