Question

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 5 to 4. If there are 96 women working for the company, what is the total number of employees?

Answer 1

Ratio of men to women is 5:4
There are 96 women, is what must we multiply four by to get 96? We must divide 96 by 4 which is 24.
Then we multiply 24 by 5 to get 120.
120 plus 96 is 216

Answer 2

216

Explanation:

96 divided 4 is 24 so 24 • 5 is 120. 120+96 is 216.
