A very exclusive college accepts approximately 2 students out of 5
applicants. Which of the following could describe this situation?
A. This year, the college accepted 2060 and did not accept 5150.
B. This year, the college accepted 3090 and did not accept 2060.
C. This year, the college accepted 2050 and did not accept 3075.
D. This year, the college accepted 2220 and did not accept 5550.

Answer 1

Answer:

Try "This year, the college accepted 2060 and did not accept 5150." because 5150/2060 is 2.5. It might be wrong but I do think that is the correct answer

Answer 2

Option C describes the situation.

    Given in the question,

• Ratio of the accepted students and the total students = $\frac{2}{5}$ = 0.4 : 1

Check each option for the ratio of the accepted and total number of students.

Option A.

$\frac{\text{Accepted students}}{\text{Total students}}=\frac{2060}{5150+2060}$

                        = 0.29 : 1

False.

Option B.

$\frac{\text{Accepted students}}{\text{Total students}}=\frac{3090}{3090+2060}$

                        = 0.6 : 1

False.

Option C.

$\frac{\text{Accepted students}}{\text{Total students}}=\frac{2050}{2050+3075}$

                        = 0.4 : 1

True.

Option D.

$\frac{\text{Accepted students}}{\text{Total students}}=\frac{2220}{2220+5550}$

                        = 0.29 : 1

False.

    Therefore, Option C defines the situation.
