Answer:

2 men for every 3 women

Explanation:

Q: What is the ratio of men to women?

Given: 3/5 of the class are women.

A full class is 1, or 5/5 => 5/5 = 1

Subtract: 5/5 - 3/5 = 2/5

2/5 of the class are men.

Find the ratio of men to women

For every 2 men, there are 3 women, adding together = 5 in total
