The ratio of pens to pencils that are used used by woodland's middle school was 3:2. If there is a total of 160 middles school students how many of them used pencils?

Number of students who uses pencils = 64 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Pens : pencils = 3 : 2

Pen = 3

Pencil = 2

Total = 3 + 2 = 5

If there is a total of 160 middles school students how many of them used pencils?

Number of students who uses pencils = ratio of pencil / Total × number of students

= 2 / 5 × 160

= (2 * 160) / 5

= 320/5

= 64

Number of students who uses pencils = 64 students

Number of students who uses pen = ratio of pen / Total × number of students

= 3/5 × 160

= (3*160)/5

= 480/5

= 96 students
