2/3 of the males in a village are married and 3/5 of the women are married.
\n" ); document.write( " if every male is married to women in the village and no men married to anyone outside the village.
\n" ); document.write( " What can you determine from this as to how many men are married.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "there are the same number of men as women that are married, obviously, therefore
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3\"$ m = $\"3%2F5\"$ w
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 15
\n" ); document.write( "5(2m) = 3(3w)
\n" ); document.write( "10m = 9w
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of men to women in the village is 9:10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "See if that checks out, assume there are 90 men and 100 women
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3\"$ * 90 = 60 men
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2F5\"$ * 100 = 60 woman
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
