Answer 1

There are 210 students in total

Explanation:

On a certain high school athletic team, the ratio of freshmen to sophomores to juniors to seniors is 1:3:4:6.

The number of students as per the ratio is

freshman is 1x

sophomores is 3x

juniors is 4x

seniors is 6x

Given there are 60 juniors on the team

`4x=60`

divide both sides by 4

x=15

The total number of students on the team is

`1x+3x+4x+6x`

Substitute 15 for x

`1(15)+3(15)+4(15)+6(15)=210`

There are 210 students in total
