The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of newspapers in a college where 300 students read 5 newspapers each, and each newspaper is read by 60 students. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Define Variables**: Let \( x \) be the number of newspapers. 2. **Calculate Total Reads**: Each of the 300 students reads 5 newspapers. Therefore, the total number of newspaper reads is: \[ \text{Total Reads} = 300 \text{ students} \times 5 \text{ newspapers/student} = 1500 \text{ reads} \] 3. **Relate Reads to Newspapers**: Each newspaper is read by 60 students. Therefore, the total number of reads can also be expressed in terms of the number of newspapers: \[ \text{Total Reads} = x \text{ newspapers} \times 60 \text{ students/newspaper} = 60x \] 4. **Set Up the Equation**: Since both expressions represent the total number of reads, we can set them equal to each other: \[ 1500 = 60x \] 5. **Solve for \( x \)**: To find \( x \), divide both sides of the equation by 60: \[ x = \frac{1500}{60} = 25 \] 6. **Conclusion**: The number of newspapers is \( x = 25 \). ### Final Answer: The number of newspapers is **25**.
