Because the ratio of women to children is 10:1, double the ratio of men to women so the women are both 10:

Men to women becomes 8:10

Now total the 3 ratios: 8 for men, 10, for women and 9 for children:

8 + 10 + 9 = 27

Divide total people by that number:

270/27 = 10

Multiply 10 by each ratio:

Men = 8 * 10 = 80

Women = 10 * 10 = 100

Children = 9 *10 = 90



There is 80 men.

Answer:

There are 80 men on the train.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I just completed this question on MathsWatch so here is my explanation

Step 1:

The first thing you need to do is work out the ratio of men to women to children  on the train which is

8:10:9

Step 2:

8+10+9= 27

270÷27=10

Step 3:

We now know that 1 in the ratio is equal to 10 people.

To work out the amount of men we need to multiply 10 by 8

10×8=80

These means there is 80 men on the train

Which one of the following is an ordered pair?
valentinak56 [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c)  (0, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Conventionally, an "ordered pair" is a pair of items in parentheses, separated by a comma. The items don't have to be numbers. (0, 6) is an ordered pair.

__

<em>Comments on the other answer choices</em>

Curly braces are usually used as delimiters of a set, not an ordered pair.

Three items do not constitute a "pair." Rather, they are a "triple."

Items without any particular indicator of grouping are usually not considered a "pair."
