Question

The ratio of masters to servants was 2 to 120. If there were 228,000 servants, how many people were

there in all?

Answer 1

So, it is an 2 to 120 ratio meaning for every 2 masters we have 120 servants. Dividing 228,000 by 120, we get 1900. 1900 times 2 = 3800 masters overall. Adding 3,800 to 228,000, we get 231,800
