Question

There are 26072 people at a baseball game . The ratio of men to women is 7 : 1. How many of each were at the game?

Answer 1

There was 22,813 men and 3,259 women

Explanation:

26,072 ÷ 8 ( 7 + 1 ) = 3,259

3,259 x 7 = 22,813 (men)

26,072 - 22,813 (men) = 3,259 (women)

Men: 7/8 = 22,813 men in total

Women: 1/8 = 3,259 women in total
