In a college there are 16 times as many students as professors. if together the students and professors number 17000, how many students are there in the college?

There 16,000 students in the college.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of professor in the college be x.

Number of students in the college = 16 x

Total number of students and professors in the college = 17,000

x + 16 x = 17,000

So, Number of students in the college = 16x = 16 × (1000) = 16,000

the first one, all those points on the line just make a strait line.
