Question

There are 15 female performers in a dance recital. The ratio of men to women is 2:3. How many men are in the dance recital?

Answer 1

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.
