Question 395782: If the ratio of males to females in a group of students is 3:5, which of the following could be the total number of students in the group: 148, 150, 152, or 154?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 3x males and 5x females, where x is an integer. This means that the total number of students is 8x. Since 152 is the only multiple of 8, the only possibility is 152.
