There are 48 students studying foreign language at the community college. If the only two foreign languages offered are French and Spanish, and 28 students are studying French, which of the following represents the ratio of students studying Spanish to the total number of foreign language students?

Which number is represented by the Roman numeral XXVII?

  1. 47
  2. 27

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In Roman numerals, an “X” represents the number 10, a “V” represents 5, and “I” is representative of the number 1. In this problem we have 2 X’s, 1 V, and two II’s, which means we have two 10’s (20), one 5, and two 1’s (2).

Written mathematically, 20 + 5 + 2 = 27
