Question

Can someone help me with this

Answer 1

3:1

Explanation:

Half of the 80 people are women. 80 divided by 2 is 40.

One-quarter of the 40 women are men. 40 divided by 4 is 10.

The total number of men and women is 50, and the rest are children. 50 subtracted from 80 is 30.

There are 40 women, 30 children, and 10 men.

The ratio of children to men is 30:10, which simplifies to 3:1.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Half of the 80 people are women, so divide 80 by 2.

`80/2=40`

One quarter of that is men.

`40/4=10`

The rest are children, so:

`40+10=50\\80-50=30`

There are 30 children, 40 women, and 10 men.

The number of children to men is n:1.

There are 30 children to 10 men, and after simplifying that by dividing by 10, so the value of n is 3, and the ratio is 3:1.
