Question

A university law school accepts 7 out of every 11 applicants. If the school accepted 665 students, how many applications did they receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

The school recieved 1045 students

Explanation:

Given that the university law school accepts 7 out of 11 applicants

If the school accepted 665 students, let x be the number of applications they recieve, then:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{7}{11}=\frac{665}{x} \\ \\ 7x=665\times11=7315 \\ x=\frac{7315}{7}=1045 \end{gathered}$
