Salutations!

There are 24 people using the gym. The ratio of men to women is 2 : 1.

How many men are using the gym?

Lets solve this!

Add the ratios 2:1

2 + 1 = 3

Divide 24 and 3


24/3


24/3

= 8

Multiply 8 and 2

8
× 2 = 16.

There are 16 men using the gym.

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!
