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

aniked [119]

Answer:

$1,665.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest=PRT/100 where P is the principal amount deposited by Michelle, R is the rate offered per year in terms of percentage, T is the period in years

Substituting P for $1385, T for 7 years, R for 2.89% we obtain interest as follows

Interest=$1,385*2.89*7 years/100=$280.1855

Balance after 7 years will be the sum of principal amount and interest gained

Balance=$1,385+$280.1855 =$1,665.1855

Rounding off to 2 decimal places

Balance=$1665.19

Therefore, Michelle's balance is $1,665.19

I believe that the ending answer you are looking for is 1320 miles with no gallons of gas because if you have 440 miles with 20 gallons of gas just do 440+440+440=1,320
