Answer 1

Answer: The required ratio is 7 : 16.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that one day, at the Department of Motor Vehicles office, 28 women and 64 men applied for a replacement driver's license.

We are to find the ratio that compares the number of women applicants to the number of men applicants.

Given that

Number of women applicants, w = 28

and

the number of men applicants, m = 64.

Therefore, the ratio compares the number of women applicants to the number of men applicants is given by

`w:m=(w)/(m)=(28)/(64)=(7)/(16)=7:16.`

Thus, the required ratio is 7 : 16.

Answer 2
