The ratio of males to female students is 2 to 5. If there is a total 4410 students, find the number of male and female students
---
2:5 is the same as 2x:5x where 2x is # of males and 5x is # of females.
---
Equation:
2x + 5x = 4410
7x = 4410
x = 630
---
# of males = 2x = 1260
# of females = 5x = 3150
