Question

The ratio of men to women at a basketball game was 3 to 5 there were 128 adults at the game how many men were at the game

Answer 1

Ratios are used to show the proportions of two quantities.

There were 48 men at the game, if the total number of adults is 128.

Let:

$M \to Men$

$W \to Women$

So, we have:

$M : W = 3 : 5$

The total ratio is:

$Total = M + W$

$Total = 3 + 5$

$Total = 8$

The number of men at the game is calculated using:

$Men = \frac{M}{Total} \times Adults$

So, we have:

$Men = \frac{3}{8} \times 128$

$Men = 3 \times 16$

$Men = 48$

Hence, there are 48 men at the game
