SOLUTION: If there are 50 males, then how many females must there be in order for the ratio of males to females to be 3 to 4? I�m not sure if this is how to do it, I�ll give it a shot.

Question 889987: If there are 50 males, then how many females must there be in order for the ratio of males to females to be 3 to 4?

I�m not sure if this is how to do it, I�ll give it a shot. To me it makes sense to break it down by dividing 50 by 3= 16.66 then multiply that by 4 = 66.66 round it to 67, so if there is 50 men in class and the ratio is 3:4 then there is 67 women in class.
Please let me know if this is how you are to do it,if not please let me know the right way.

That is certainly one way to do it, but a similar way
=
Cross multiply
3f = 4*50
f = 200/3
f = 66.67 ~ 67
