a) The  fraction of women is \frac{12}{577}

b) The fraction of men is \frac{565}{577}

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

In this part of the problem, we are asked to find what fraction of the prize winners are women.

We have:

w=24 (number of prizes awarded to women)

m=1130 (number of prizes awarded to men)

First of all, we calculate the total number of prizes awarded:

p=w+m=24+1130=1154

Now we find the fraction of prize winners who were women, which is given by:

p(w) = \frac{w}{p}=\frac{24}{1154}

And we can simplify by dividing both numerators and denominators by 2,

p(w)=\frac{24}{1154}=\frac{12}{577}

b)

The total number of prizes awarded is

p=1154

The number of prizes assigned to men is

m=1130

Therefore, the fraction of prize winners who were men is

p(m)=\frac{m}{p}=\frac{1130}{1154}=\frac{565}{577}

where we simplified the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
