If the ratio of students to computers is 1:35, this means that for every 1 student, there are 35 computers.

We know that there are 210 computers in the school, so we can set up a proportion to find the number of students:

1/35 = x/210

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

35x = 210

x = 6

Therefore, there are 6 students in the school.
