Answer:
Explanation:
From the question, we are given the ratio of males to females in the class as 5 to 9.
Total ratio = 5+9 = 14
Let the total number of student in the class be x. If there are 45 females then;
9/14 * x = 45
9x/14 = 45
Cross multiply;
9x = 14 * 45
x = 14 * 5
x = 70
Hence the total number of student in the class is 70
Get the number of male students;
Total students = Male + Female
70 = Male + 45
Male = 70-45
Male = 25
