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:

1,045 applications

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of applications they received:

$\frac{7}{11}$ = $\frac{665}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

7x = 7315

x = 1045

So, they received 1,045 applications
