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.

Here's what i found online:

<span>a/3+4=6

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
<span>a/3+4=6

Simplifying:
<span> + 0.333333333333a+4=6

We move all terms containing a to the left and all other terms to the right.
<span> + 0.333333333333a=+6-4

We simplify left and right side of the equation.
<span> + 0.333333333333a=+2

We divide both sides of the equation by 0.333333333333 to get a.
<span>a=6

Hope this helped :-)</span></span></span></span></span></span>

Finger [1]

We are required to find the total hours David and Xavier works in a week

The total hours David and Xavier works in a week is 70 hours

let

number of hours Xavier works = 32 hours

number of hours David works = (6 + 32) hours

= 38 hours

<em>Total number of hours David and Xavier works in a week = number of hours Xavier works + number of hours David works</em>

= 32 hours + 38 hours

= 70 hours

Therefore, the total hours David and Xavier works in a week is 70 hours
