The ratio of men to women is 7: 9. total is 1504, find the number of men and women.

A ratio shows the relationship between quantities.

The ratio in this question says that for every 7 men there are 9 women.

A ratio can be multiplied by a constant value but will always remain the same ratio. 14 men and 18 women is still 7 men for every 9 women.

So you just need to find the ratio multiplier "x" by adding the number of men and women to get 1504 people total.

7x + 9x = 1504

16x = 1504

x = 1504/16

x = 94

Men; 7×94= 658

Women; 9×94=846

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
