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.
