Question

There are 15 female performers in a dance recital. The ratio of men to women is 2:3. How many men are in the dance recital?

Answer 1

if 3 represents women, then we divide 15 by 3 to get 5. once we have 5, we must then multiply 2 and 5. once that is done we have 10. So the number of men in the dance recital is 10.

Hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)
