If 3 represents women, then we divide 15 by 3 to get 5. once we have 5, we must then multiply 2 and 5. once that is done we have 10. So the number of men in the dance recital is 10.
Hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)
We have this equation to start with: m/n = 5.5. To achieve the desired equation, you need to multiply the entire equation by n, giving you this equation: m = 5.5n. Hope this helps!
