If 39 of the 90 students in the band are male what is the ratio of female to male students in the band? write the ratio in lowest terms as a fraction or with a colon.

Sagot :

Okay, here we have this:

We know that 39 of the 90 students in the band are male this means that the rest are women, let's calculate how many they are:

Womens=Total-Male

Womens=90-39

Womens=51

Now, knowing this we are going to find the ratio of female to male students in the band:

Number of female/ Number of male = 51/39

Now, let's convert it in lowest terms:

Ratio=51/39=17 female/13 male

Finally we obtain that there are 17 female for each 13 male.
