Answer 1

51:49 is the ratio of female participants to male participants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of females in the race = 51 %

Percentage of males in the race = 100% - 51 % = 49%

Total participants in race = 400

Number of women participants =
`51% of 400=(51)/(100)* 400=204`

Number of men participants =
`49% of 400=(49)/(100)* 400=196`

Ratio of female participants to male participants :

`(204)/(196)=(51)/(49)=51:49`
