Question

Hungary's ratio of female to male athletes is 5:9. If Hungary brought 25 female athletes, how many

male athletes did they bring to the Olympics?

Answer 1

Let the number of females and males be 5x and 9x respectively.

• Given - number of females = 25

Therefore ,

`5x = 25 \\ x = \cancel (25)/(5) = 5`

Then ,

`number \: of \: males = 9x \\ = > 9(5) \\ = > 45`
