Question

There are 30 women and 40 men.what is the ratio of women and men

Answer 1

The ratio of two quantities is just the fraction.

If we want to take the ratio of x to y, we can write it as:

x to y

or,

x : y

or,

x/y

For this question, we want the ratio of Women to Men.

There are 30 Women and 40 Men, thus the ratio would be:

30 to 40

or,

30 : 40

or,

30/40

Reducing, we can write it as:

3 to 4

or,

3 : 4

or,

3/4
