he ratio of 3:1 involves 4 units. 3 men +1 woman.
Find how many people each unit represents:
4units 2476 people
Therefore each unit represents 2476/4 = 619 people per unit
Now, take the ratio, and multiply up:
3:1 => 3619:1619 => 1857:619 You check this is right by adding the two fractions:
1857 men + 619 women = 2476 people therefore, we are correct
The number of men more than women = Number of men - Number of women
= 1857-619 = 1238 and that is your answer
