Answer 1

Given:

In an office, there are 75 women and 125 men.

To find:

The ratio of the number of men to the number of women.

Solution:

We have,

Number of men = 125

Number of women = 75

The ratio of the number of men to the number of women is:

$\text{Required Ratio}=\dfrac{\text{Number of men}}{\text{Number of women}}$

$\text{Required Ratio}=\dfrac{125}{75}$

$\text{Required Ratio}=\dfrac{5}{3}$

$\text{Required Ratio}=5:3$

Therefore, the ratio of the number of men to the number of women is 5:3.
