Question

A ratio of men to women in a party is exactly 3;2 if there are a total of 120 people at the party how many of them are women ? Can someone please explain to me how the answer is 48

Answer 1

If the ratio is 3:2 then you add that together to get 5.Which tell you what one group would equal. Then you divide 120 by 5 to get an answer of 24. If women is equal to 2 out of a total of 5, then you multiply 24 by 2 to get 48.
