Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of males to females in a cycling club is 5:3.
1/3 of the males are under 18
2/9 of the females are under 18
The fraction of the club members that are under 18 is calculated as:
Male: Female = Male/Female
We are told in the above question:
1/3 of the males are under 18
2/9 of the females are under 18
Hence:
1/3 / 2/9
= 1/3 ÷ 2/9
= 1/3 × 9/2
= 3/2
The fraction of the club members that are under 18 is 3/2
