Of the 288 persons working in a company, 112 are men and the remaining are women. Find the ratio of the number of men to the total number of persons.

Total person working in company, m = 288
Number of men = 112
∴ Number of women = Total persons – Number of men = 288 – 112 = 176
Ratio of men to the total number of persons = `112/288 = 7/8`
