A proportion is a pair of equal ratios.
There aren't any solutions. I recommend using MathPapa algebraic calculator for problems like this. Here's the link: https://www.mathpapa.com/algebra-calculator.html
Let 6x represent the men
5x represents the women
The ratio of men to women is 6 to 5 or 6/5
6x / 5x = 1500/ W where W is the number of women
6/5 = 1500/W
W = 1250 women
Answer:
5009.206
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The answer is </u><em><u>5009.206</u></em>. We see that the first portion of this question asks, "(5×1,000)+(9×1)". 5x1000 is 5000. 9x1 is 9. 5000+9= 5009. The second portion of this question asks for the numbers that go after the decimal. 2x1/10 is 2/10. 6x1/1000 is 6/1000. The decimal place stands for one. So we do .206. If the decimal stands for ones that means in this case the 2 is in the tenths place (like it should be since the question asks for 2/10) and the 6 is in the 1000 place (like it should be since the question asks for 6/1000). We add this up together and our answer is 5009.206. Hope this explanation helps! Happy learning!
