The ratio of males to females was 4:5. If there are 180 people at the fair how many males
are there?


Sagot :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of males. Then you have ...

  m/(180 -m) = 4/5

  5m = 4(180 -m) . . . . cross multiply

  9m = 720 . . . . . . . . add 4m, simplify

  m = 80 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 9

The number of males at the fair was 80.
