2/3 of the males in a village are married and 3/5 of the women are married.
if every male is married to women in the village and no men married to anyone outside the village.
What can you determine from this as to how many men are married.
:
there are the same number of men as women that are married, obviously, therefore
m = w
multiply by 15
5(2m) = 3(3w)
10m = 9w
:
The ratio of men to women in the village is 9:10
:
See if that checks out, assume there are 90 men and 100 women
* 90 = 60 men
* 100 = 60 woman
