Answer: men = 15 , women = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of men to women = 5:4

Total ratio = 9

number of people = 27

number of men = ration of men / total ratio x total number of people

That is :

number of men = 5/9 x 27

number of men = 3

Number of women = ratio of women / total ratio x number of people

That is :

number of women = 4/9 x 27

number of women = 12

The class room have 15 men and 12 women.

Step-by-step explanation:

       The given is,

            ratio of  men:women = 5:4

            Total people = 27

Step:1

       Let, X= Men in class,

              Y=Women in class,

Step:2

      For total men in class are,

              ratio for men= \frac{5}{9}                 (∵ 9= 5+4, for men = \frac{5}{9})

      Number of men in class

                        = Total people × Ratio of men

                        = 27 ×  \frac{5}{9}  

                     X =  15

               Men in class, X= 15.

Step:3

      For total women in class are,

                 ratio for women = \frac{4}{9}          (∵ 9= 5+4, for women = \frac{4}{9})

     Number of women in class

                        = Total people × Ratio of women

                        = 27 ×  \frac{4}{9}

                    Y  = 12

                women in class, Y = 12.

Step:4

     Check for solution,

                  Total people = Men + Women

                                         = 15 + 12

                                    27 = 27

Result:

     Men in class are 15 and Women in class are 12. Total number of people in class are 27.

Lucy rented a movie. She started the movie at 9:48 a.m. and it was 3 hours 39 minutes long. When did the movie end
iren2701 [21]

Think through this one...

9:48 + 9 minutes = 9:57

9:57 + 30 minutes = 10:27

10:27 + 3 hours = 1:27 p.m.
