Question

A university law school accepts 6 out of every 11 applicants. If the school accepts 552 students find how many applicants they received

Answer 1

1012

The ratio of student / applicant is 6 /11

So for 552 students, the applicants number is:

• x = 552*11/6
• x= 1012

Number of applicants is 1012
