Question

The Police station has 10 males and 5 females. The ratio of male officers to the number of officers in the station is

Answer 1

Total number of males in the police station = 10

Total number of females in the police station = 5

So, Total number of officers in the police station = Number of males in police station + Number of females in the police station

= 10+5

= 15

So, total number of officers in the police station = 15

Now, we have to find the ratio of number of male officers to the total number of officers.

So, Ratio = Number of male officers
`/` Total number of officers

=
`10 / 15`

=
`(10)/(15)`

=
`(2)/(3)`

= 2:3

So, the ratio of male officers to the total number of officers is 2:3.
