Question

There were 700 spectators the ratio of men to women is 17:18 how many women attended​

Answer 1

Answer:

The total number of women who attended=360

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of men and women can be expressed as;

Total number of men=(ratio of men/total ratio)×total number of spectators

where;

ratio of men=17

Total ratio=(17+18)=35

replacing;

Total number of men=(17/35)×700=340

Total number of men=340

Total number of women=(ratio of women/total ratio)×total number of spectators

where;

ratio of women=18

Total ratio=(17+18)=35

replacing;

Total number of women=(18/35)×700=360

Total number of women=360
