Question

In a class full of men and women 5/9of the class are women. What is the ratio of men to women in its

simplest form

Answer 1

The ratio in its simplest from is 4:5

Explanation:

Now, let’s pick an arbitrary value for the total number of students in that class.

Let’s say we have 45 students in the class

The number of women would be 5/9 * 45 = 25

The number of men would be 45-25 = 20

So the ratio of men to women would be;

20:25 which in its simplest form = 4:5
