Question

If the ratio between students to female adults is 7:6 while female adults to male adults is 4:1. What is the ratio of students to male adults?

Answer 1

Answer: 14:3

Explanation:

Given

Ratio between students(s) to female(f) adults is 7:6

while ratio between female(f) to male(m) is 4:1

So, we can write

`\Rightarrow (s)/(f)=(7)/(6)\quad \ldots(i)`

Also, we can write

`\Rightarrow (f)/(m)=(4)/(1)\quad \ldots(ii)`

Multiply both equations

`\Rightarrow (s)/(f)* (f)/(m)=(7)/(6)* (4)/(1)\\\\ \Rightarrow (s)/(m)=(14)/(3)`

So, the ratio of the students to male adults is 14:3 .
