Question

Of the 37 teachers at Francesca's high school, 9 are female. What is the ratio of the number of male teachers to the total number of teachers?

Answer 1

28 : 37

Explanation:

Find how many male teachers there are by subtracting 9 from 37:

37 - 9

= 28

Create a ratio with this to the total number of teachers:

28 : 37

So, the ratio of the number of male teachers to the total number of teachers is 28 : 37.
