Question

The number of male and female who attended a concert was in the ratio 7:4. If there

were a total of 616 people, how many men were there?​

Answer 1

Ratio of males = 7

Ratio of females = 4

Sum of ratio = 7+4 = 11

For the no. of males,

Ratio=7

Sum of ratio =11

Total no. of people=616

No. of males = 7/11×616

=392

For the no. of females,

Ratio=4

Sum of ratio=11

Total no. of people=616

No. of females=4/11×616

=224

There were total 392 men and 224 women.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathbf{Answer}$

The ratio of male : female = 7 : 4

The total number of people ( male + female ) = 616

Let the number of male be :- 7x

Thus , the number of female will be :- 4x Total number of people = 7x + 4x = 11 x

Therefore,

Number of male = ( 7x / 11 x ) × 616 = 392

Therefore, the number of female = Total number of person - number of male = 616 - 392 = 224

Answer =>

Number of male = 392

Number of female = 224
