Answer 2

The gender ration males to females = 25:16

For every 100 males, there are 64 females.

Explanation:

The number of males in the group = 125

The number of females in the group = 80

The gender ratio from males to females =
`(125)/(80)`

Now we can reduce the ratio by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 5.

=
`((125)/(5) )/((80)/(5) ) = (25)/(16)`

So, the gender ration males to females = 25:16

This means for every 25 males, there are 16 females.

So, for every 100 males, females = 16 times 4 = 64 females.

Therefore, for every 100 males, there are 64 females.
