In a group of people the ratio of the number of women to the number of men is 11:9.
The average age of the women is 22, and the average age of the men is 32.
What is the average age of the whole group?
:
For the purpose of this problem we can assume the no. of women is 11, the no. of men is 9 and there are 20 people altogether
:
A = %2811%2822%29+%2B+9%2832%29%29%2F20
A = %28242%2B288%29%2F20
A = 530%2F20
A = 26.5 yrs is the average age of the group
