Question

Only 3/5 of the University students wanted to become math teachers if 3500 did not want to become math teachers how many university students were there?”

Answer 1

8750

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5/5 math teachers in the university. 3/5 of them did not want to become math teachers which means 2/5 of the math teachers is equal to 3500.

3500=2/5

divide 3500 by 2 to get 1/5 of the math teachers.

3550/2=1750

1750 is 1/5 of the math teachers.

multiply 1750 by 5 to get 5/5 of the math teachers

1750*5= 8750
