Answer 1

Answer :

Number of men and number of women in the group are 660 and 550 respectively

Given :

The ratio of men to women in a group of 1210 people is 6 : 5

To find :

Number of men and number of women in the group

Solution :

Step 1 of 2 :

Form the equation

Here it is given that ratio of men to women in a group of 1210 people is 6 : 5

Let number of men and number of women in the group are 6x and 5x respectively

By the given condition

6x + 5x = 1210

Step 2 :

Find number of men and number of women in the group

6x + 5x = 1210

⇒ 11x = 1210

⇒ x = 1210/11

⇒ x = 110

Number of men in the group = 6x = 6 × 110 = 660

Number of women in the group = 5x = 5 × 110 = 550
