Question

An astronomy club has 36 members, of which 10 ane males and the rest are females. What is the ratio of females to males?

Answer 1

We have a total of 36 members, of which 10 are males.

Then, we can calculate the number of females as:

`\begin{gathered} m+f=36 \\ f=36-m=36-10=26 \end{gathered}`

We can calculate the ratio of females to males as:

`(f)/(m)=(26)/(10)=(13)/(5)`

The ratio of females to males is 13:5, meaning that there are 13 females per each group of 5 men.

Answer: 13:5.
