Question

There are 64 female performers in a dance recital. The ratio of men to women is 7:8. How many men are in the dance recital?

Answer 1

In the dancing performance, there are 28 men.

Given info;

As the ratio of men to women is 7 : 8, if there are 7x men, there are 8x women.

But we have 64 female performers in the dance recital.

Hence, 8x = 64

Now multiplying both sides by 1/8, we have

⇒ 8x * 1/8 = 32 * 1/8

x = 4

Hence there are 7 × 4 = 28 men in the dance recital.
