Question

There are 25 female performers in a dance recital. There ratio of men to women is 2:5. How many men are in dance recital.

Answer 1

There are 10 men in the dance recital.

Explanation:

The ratio 2:5 means that for every 5 women there are 2 men.

We will divide 25 by 5 to figure out how many groups there will be.

`25/5=5`

`x*y=z`

x = amount of groups.

y = amount of men per group

z = total amount of men.

`5*2=10`

This means that there are 10 men in the dance recital.

Answer 2

If the ratio is 2:5 when there are more females then men 25 divided by 5 is 5 and 2 multiplied by 5 is 10.

So to answer your question: There are 10 Men
