the ratio of males to females at a camp is 5 to 4. If there are 40 males at the camp, how many females are there?
2 answers:
Answer:
5 males : 4 females
40 males : X females
5/40 =4/X
(cross multiplication)
5x = 4*40
5x = 160
(divide both sides by 5)
X = 32
therefore, there are 32 females at the camp
5 Males for every 4 female. 40/5 = 8. 4 x 8 = 32. 32 Females
