Question

120 adults complete a survey. 45 are men. Write the ratio of men : women in its simplest form

Answer 1

Answer: 3:5

Step-by-step explanation: If there are 45 men and 120 adults, that means that the other 75 are females.

45:75

But since the question asked for the simplest form, we have to divide by the GCD, which is 15. (Greatest common divisor)

45÷15:75÷15

3:5
