Answer:

n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 40 people, half are women, so there are 20 women.

There are 5 times as many women as men, so 20/5 = 4 are men.

The remainder are children, so there are 20-4 = 16 children.

The ratio of children to men is ...

children : men = 16 : 4 = 4 : 1 = n : 1 . . . . . . . . remove a factor of 4 from 16:4

The value of n is 4.

do you think that a negative sign affects whether or not a number is rational number? Use -8/5 an example.

lina2011 [118]

-8/5 is a rational number because in order to be a rational number it must be able to be written as a fraction. -8/5 is a fraction; therefore, the negative does not affect it.
