Question 106228: In a Mathematics seminar 1/4 of the people attending were married men. If the number of married women was 2/7 greater than the number of married men, what fraction of people attending the seminar were not married? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1/4*2/7=2/28=1/14
1/4+1/4+1/14=fraction of married people.
=1/2+1/14
=7/14+1/14=8/14=4/7
1-4/7=3/7 fraction of single people.
