Question

Of the $288$ persons working in a company, $112$ are men and the remaining are women. Find the ratio of the number of men to that women.

Answer 1

The total person working in the company $=288$
Number of men $=112$
$\therefore$ Number of women $=$ Total persons $-$ Number of men

$=288-112=176$

The ratio of men to women $=\frac{Numberofmen}{Numberofwomen}$

$=\frac{112}{176}$

$=\frac{7}{11}$ (on dividing numerator and denominator by $16$)

$=7:11$

Hence, the ratio of men to that of women is $7:11$.
