Question

There are 21 Women on the busThe ratio of Women to Men is 3:2How many people are on the bus all together?

Answer 1

Given:

Number of women in the bus = 21

Ratio of women to men = 3:2

Let's find the total number if people.

Where:

Total ratio = 3 + 2 = 5

To find the total number of people, we have:

$\frac{3}{5}*x=21$

Where:

x represents the total number of people.

To solve for x, multiply both sides by 5/3:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{5}{3}*\frac{3}{5}x=21*\frac{5}{3} \\ \\ x=\frac{21*5}{3} \\ \\ x=\frac{105}{3} \\ \\ x=35 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the total number of people on the bus is 35.

ANSWER:

35 people
