There were 700 spectators the ratio of men to women is 17: 18 how many women attended

The total number of women who attended=360

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of men and women can be expressed as;

Total number of men=(ratio of men/total ratio)×total number of spectators

where;

ratio of men=17

Total ratio=(17+18)=35

replacing;

Total number of men=(17/35)×700=340

Total number of men=340

Total number of women=(ratio of women/total ratio)×total number of spectators

where;

ratio of women=18

Total ratio=(17+18)=35

replacing;

Total number of women=(18/35)×700=360

Total number of women=360

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
