Question

Ratio of men and women to kids in newtown 6:7:3. There are 42,000 women.

Answer 1

ratio M:W:K=6:7:3

42,000 women, 42,000/7=6000

6*6000=36,000 men

42,000 women

3*6000=18,000 kids

add the numbers to get 96,000 people

more simply, once you get the 6000...

6+7+3=16 and 16*6000=96,000 people

Answer 2

Ratio 6M:7W:3K. W=42000

 

Ratio M to W 6:7

 

M= 6/7=M/42000 ⇒42000(6)/7=M ⇒ M = 36000

 

Ratio W to K = 7:3

 

K= 7/3=42000/K ⇒ 42000(3)/7= 18000

 

Total= 36000+42000+18000= 96000
