Question

University Law School accepts 2 out of every 7 applicants. If the school received 959 ​applications, find how many students were accepted

Answer 1

Maybe wrong, but I'll give it a shot:

So there are 959 applications, and it accepts 2 out of every 7 applicants.

959/7 = 137.

So this means that if you multiply 2 by 137, you get "how many out of how many"

2*137 = 274

So 274 out of 959 students got accepted.

Answer 2

274

Explanation:

You can divide 959 by 7 which equals 137. Then, you multiply by 2. So 274.
