Question

Last night, 80 people attended a lecture at the Smithville Public library. 47 of the attendees were men. What ratio BEST represents the relationship between the number of men and the number of women?

Answer 1

Answer:

47 : 33 (men to women)

Step-by-step explanation:

Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.

To begin solving this problem we first need to calculate the amount of women that attended the lecture. Since there are a total of 80 people in which 47 are men then,

$80-47 = 33.women$

We now know that there are 33 women. therefore the ratio of men to women is 47 : 33 , Since this is the most simplified we can make it then this is the final and best ratio we can make.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
