Asked by Shelly

in the local coed softball league, the male to female ratio is 6:6. If there are 160 players in the league, how many are female?

I know the answer is 80. but how the heck do I set up the problem correctly?
Answered by bobpursley
well, change the ratio to male:total
that is 6:12

6/12 =males/160
and you solve that.
Then, females=160-males.
Answered by Unknown Smart Fellow
First we break down that ratio

So we know that there is a 6:6 ratio of men to women. (for every 6 men there are 6 women) If you simplify that ratio you get a 1:1 ratio. (for ever 1 man there is 1 woman)

NEXT

So we know from the 1:1 ratio that there is an even amount of men and women on the team.

For every 1 male there is 1 female. 1male +1 female=2 people

So if we have a group of 160 people (and we know from the 1:1 ratio that there must be an even amount of men and women) we would divide 160 by 2 to see how many men and women there are.

160 divided by 2 equals 80.

80 females and 80 males.

Sure, I can help!

The population in this case would be all the players in the softball league, which is stated as 225 players.

The sample would be the 45 players that Maritza chose to ask about playing basketball.

So the size of the population is 225 players and the size of the sample is 45 players.

Alright, feel free to let me know if you have any other questions!

Whether or not you say "like" is up to you and your personal preferences. Some people use "like" as a filler word, while others do not. It is important to be aware of your language use and how it may affect communication, but ultimately it is your choice how you speak.

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling unwell. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids, get rest, and consider seeing a doctor if your symptoms persist or worsen. In the meantime, covering your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough can help reduce the spread of germs to others. Take care and feel better soon!
