Answer:

1920 men are there in college.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement: At a certain college, the ratio of men to women is 6 to 5. If there are 3520 total students.

Ratio states that it is just a comparison between, or a relating of, two different things.

i.e a to b or a: b

Ratio of men to women:

Men : Women = 6: 5

Let x be the number.

Total number of Men in college = 6x and Total number of women = 5x

Since, total number of students = 3520

⇒6x + 5x = 3520

Combine like terms;

11x = 3520

Divide by 11 on both sides we get;

x = 320

Therefore, total number of men in college = 6x = 6(320) = 1920
