the ratio of men to women in a certain factory is 3 to 4. Their are 204 men. How many workers are their?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

You already know the base unit which is 3:4

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay so 3/4 = 204/women solve for women

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

That means that you will have to find the number of women first in the factory according to the unit ratio. So you have the base: 3:4 and let's say that we will have the ratio of men:women That means that we have 3:4 : 204:x

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Now you have to solve for the value of x.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Then you can add and find the total number of worriers there are.

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

*workers
