In north high school the ratio of the number of women teachers to men teachers is 11 to 10 if the average age of the women is 34 and the average age of the men is 32 detemine the average age in years of all the teachers
------------------------------------
# of women = 11x
# of men = 10x
-----------------------
Total years of women = 34*11x = 374x yrs.
Total years of men = 32*10x = 320x yrs.
-----------------------------
Average age of all teachers: (374x + 320x)/(11x+10x) = 694x/21x = 33.048 years
