[tex]\square[/tex] students

Answer :

To find out how many students take speech at Rocky Valley College, we will calculate one-third of the total number of students.

1. Start with the total number of students, which is 11,913.

2. Determine the fraction of students taking speech, which is [tex]\(\frac{1}{3}\)[/tex].

3. Multiply the total number of students by the fraction who take speech to find the number of students in the speech class:

[tex]\[
11,913 \times \frac{1}{3} = 3,971
\][/tex]

Therefore, 3,971 students at Rocky Valley College take speech.
