Question

The ratio of men to women enrolled in Math for Elementary Teachers at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis is 1 to 5 if the total enrollment in these classes is approximately 186 students per semester, how many men are enrolled

Answer 1

31 men are enrolled

Explanation:

1 to 5

Divide 186 by 6. Then you would get 31 since that is the unit rate.

To check, multiply 31 by 5 and you would get 155, add 155 with 31, you would get 186. I don't really know how to explain it but thats my answer.
