Question
Of the 288 persons working in a company, 112 are men and the remaining are women. Find the ratio of the number of women to the total number of persons.
Solution
Total person working in company, m = 288
Number of men = 112
∴ Number of women = Total persons – Number of men = 288 – 112 = 176
Ratio of woman to the total number of persons = `176/288 = 11/18`
= 11:18 ......[On dividing numerator and denominator by 16]
