Answer 2

Answer:

The number of men to number of women be 7 : 8 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

150 adults complete a survey.

80 are women.

Thus number of men = Total number of adult - Number of women

                                   = 150 - 80

                                   = 70

Thus the ratio of number of  men to number of women .

$\frac{Men}{Women}=\frac{70}{80}$

Simplify the above

$\frac{Men}{Women}=\frac{7}{8}$

Therefore the number of men to number of women be 7 : 8 .
