Answers
Answer:
Hence, the ratio of the number of men to that of women is 7:18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of persons working in the company =288
Number of men working in the company =112
∴ Required ratio =
Total number of persons
Number of men
=
288
112
=
288÷16
112÷16
=
18
7
=7:18
Hence, the ratio of the number of men to the total number of persons is 7:18
Answer:
The ratio of the number of:
i. Men to that of women = 7 : 11
ii. Men to total number of persons = 7 : 18
iii. Women to the total number of persons = 11 : 18
Step-by-step explanation:
We have:
Total number of persons = 288
Number of men = 112
Number of women = x
So, x + 112 = 288
x = 288 - 112
x = 176
The ratio of the number of:
i. Men to that of women
= Number of men / Number of women
= 112 / 176
= 7 / 11
= 7 : 11
ii. Men to total number of persons.
= Number of men / Total number of persons
= 112 / 288
= 7 / 18
= 7 : 18
iii. Women to the total number of persons.
= Number of women / Total number of persons
= 176 / 288
= 11 / 18
= 11 : 18
