Answer:
15/24 or 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Well 9 are female
The rest of the 24 has to be male so
24-9=15
15/24 or 5/8
Tricky but not crazy hard. You could use th x/y method where you turn it into a cross multiplication fiasco.
or you can try your guesses through what ever equals 1/2 when you add one to the denominator. the answer you are looking for is 2/3
2/3 + 1 for the numerator = 1.
2/3 + 1 for the denominator = 1/2.
-4=w-6
-4+6=w
2=w
Therefore, w equals 2.
