Question

In a class full of men and women, $\frac{2}{9}$ of the class are women. What is the ratio of men to women in its simplest form?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey there!

Let's pretend that there are only 9 people in that class. Thus, if 2/9 were women, then 2 people would be women.

Thus, 7 people would be men.

The ratio of men to women would be 7:2.

Hope this helps :)
