Question

A university law school accepts 7 out of every 11 applicants. If the school accepted 665 students, how many applications did they receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

The school recieved 1045 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the university law school accepts 7 out of 11 applicants

If the school accepted 665 students, let x be the number of applications they recieve, then:

`\begin{gathered} (7)/(11)=(665)/(x) \\ \\ 7x=665*11=7315 \\ x=(7315)/(7)=1045 \end{gathered}`
