In the sophomore class at Dixon high school the number of students taking French is 2/3 of the number taking Spanish. How many students are studying each language if the total number of students in French and Spanish is 310?

Respuesta :

F=2/3 of S
F+S=310

2/3 S + S = 310

(2S + 3S)/3=310
S=[(310)(3)]/5
S=186 students taking Spanish

F=2/3 of 186
F=124 students taking French
