Hungary's ratio of female to male athletes is 5:9. If Hungary brought 25 female athletes, how many
male athletes did they bring to the Olympics?


Sagot :

Answer:

Let the number of females and males be 5x and 9x respectively.

  • Given - number of females = 25

Therefore ,

[tex] 5x = 25 \\ x = \cancel \frac{25}{5} = 5[/tex]

Then ,

[tex]number \: of \: males = 9x \\ = > 9(5) \\ = > 45[/tex]
