Hey!
-------------------------------------------------
Solution:
The ratio is FEMALES to MALES.
So its 18/16, 18:16, or 18 to 16.
~Now we need to simplify.
18:16 → 18/2:16/2 → 9:8
*Note* When you have a ratio you need to know which comes first. If you put males to females that incorrect. It has to be correct according to the question.

Answer:
Angle 1 = Angle 2 = 5y -23 (Vertically opposite)
We can see that we have a triangle in the figure
Since the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180,
<em>(2x + 13) + (47) + (5y -23) = 180</em>
<em>2x + 5y + 37 = 180</em>
<em>2x + 5y = 143</em>
5y = 143 -2x -----------------(1)
Assuming l and m to be parallel
<em>angle 1 = 3x (corresponding angles)</em>
<em>5y - 23 = 3x </em>
<em>From equation (1)</em>
<em>143 -2x - 23 = 3x </em>
<em>120 = 5x </em>
x = 24 ---------------------- (2)
Using (2) in (1)
<em>5y = 143 - 2(24)</em>
<em>5y = 143 - 48</em>
<em>5y = 95</em>
y = 19
Therefore,
x = 24
y = 19
