Question

Your grandmother is 87 years old and she has remarked to you that nearly all of her friends are women. She told you that it is rare to see a man over age 85. Is she correct? Yes, past age 85 years of age, for every 100 men there are ____.

Answer 1

The correct answer is, Yes, past age 85 years of age, for every 100 men, there are 200 women.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your grandmother is 87 years old and she told you that all of her friends are women. There is no single man in her circle of friends. She also told that it is rare to see a man over the age of 85. It is because of the fact that women are more in number than man above the age of 85 and this ratio is like 100 men per 200 women, which means the chances of getting a male friend is almost half after the age of 85. So women are more in number than men.
