The ratio of men to women at a certain company is 5 to 6 How many male employees does the company have if there are 66 employees?
---------------------
5 to 6 is the same as 5x to 6x where 5x is men and 6x is women.
----------------------
Equation:
5x+6x = 66
11x = 66
x = 6
-------------
5x = 30 is the number of men
6x = 36 is the number of women
