The ratio of men to women working for a company is 5 to 4. If there are 243 employees total, how many women work for the company?
OO EXPLANATION

Answer 1

108 women

Explanation:

add the parts of the ratio together

5 + 4 = 9

divide the total number of employees by 9

243/9 = 27

now multiply the parts of the ratio by 27.

5 X 27 = 135

4 X 27 = 108
