Question

a certain college has 10,400 applicants for 800 openings. what is the unit rate of applicants to openings?
answer 2 points

Explanation:

Step1: Understand Unit Rate

Unit rate is applicants per opening, so divide total applicants by total openings.
Total applicants = 10400, Total openings = 800.

Step2: Perform Division

Calculate $\frac{10400}{800}$. Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 800: $\frac{10400\div800}{800\div800} = \frac{13}{1}$.

Answer:

13 applicants per opening
