15. In a certain room, there are 28 women and 21 men. What is the ratio of men to women? What is the ratio of women to the total number of people?
Answers
Given,
Number of men in the room = 21
Number of women in the room = 28
To Find,
The ratio of men to women and the ratio of women to the total number of people.
Solution,
First, we will calculate the ratio of men to women
The ratio of men to women = 21/28 = 3/4 = 3:4
Now,
Total number of people in the room = 28+21 = 49
So,
The ratio of women to total number of people = 28/49 = 4/7 = 4:7
Hence, the ratio of men to women is 3:4 and the ratio of women to the total number of people is 4:7.
Given; Number of women in a room =28
Number of men in a room = 21
To Find; The ratio of men to women and the ratio of women to total people
Solution ;
Number of women in a room =28
Number of men in a room = 21
Total number of persons =Total number of men + Total number of women
=28+21=49
The ratio of men to women
=Number of men/Number of women
=21/28=3/4
Ratio of women to total people = 28/49
=4/7
Hence the ratio of men to women is 3/4 and the ratio of women to total people is 4/7
