Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
In a ferry,the ratio of the number of woman to the number of man is 2:1. Ratio of the number of woman to the number of children is 3:1.
To find:-
Find the ratio of the number of man to the number of woman to the number of children in the ferry.
Solution:-
Given that :
The ratio of the number of woman to the number of man in a ferry = 2:1.
The ratio of the number of man to the number of woman in the ferry = 1:2
M : N = 1/2
On multiplying the numerator and the denominator with 3
= (1/2)×(3/3)
= (1×3)/(2×3)
M/N= 3/6
The ratio of the number of man to the number of woman= 3:6
Ratio of the number of woman to the number of children in the ferry = 3:1.
W/C = 3/1
On multiplying the numerator and the denominator with 2
= (3/1)×(2/2)
= (3×2)/(1×2)
= 6/2
The ratio = W:C = 6:2
M : W = 3 : 6
W : C = 6 : 2

Where M= man , W = Woman , C = Children
Answer:-
The ratio of the number of man to the number of woman to the number of children in the ferry is 3 : 6 : 2
