3. 26:45
4. 45:26

Answer 1

the answer is 19:26

Answer 2

1. 19:26

Explanation:

To solve you will first need to subtract like so;

90 - 38 = 52

so there are 52 females the ratio of male to females would be 38:52 then you would have to reduce the ratio.

If you divide both sides by two you get 19:26
