Question

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 4 to 7.If there are 52 men working for the company, what is the total number of employees?

Answer 1

143 employees


Because

4 to 7 means that for every 4 men, there is 7 women.

To figure this out I first divided 52 by 4

52÷4=13

I then multiplied this number by 7

13×7=91

Now knowing there are 91 women I added them together

91+52=143
