Problema Solution
A state's High School Athletic Association separates its schools into two divisions. Together, Division I and Division II have a total of 341 schools. There are about 3.5 times as many schools in Division I than in Division II. How many schools are in each division?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let no. of schools in Div II = x
No. of schools in div I = 3.5 x
x+3.5x = 341
4.5x = 341
x=341/4.5 = 75.78 (approx.)
Div. I = 3.5*75.78 = 265.23 schools
Div. II = 75.78 schools
