In a class of 24 people, the ratio of women to men is 3 to 1. how many women are in the class?

There are 18 women in the class

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all this is a ratio topic and to solve it one needs to know that ratios are fractions so to solve it we will find first the sum of the fractions which is 3+1 and =4. Fully recognising through the question that the fractions or relation of the women to the men in the classroom is in a 3:1 ratio, we should multiply the fraction with the total number of people in the class which bring forth the result as 18!

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
