Question 173060
lets call the % of males athletes M and the % of Females athletes F. Lets call the total number who graduate G
:
total of all student graduates is 52%(M+F). so G=.52(M+F)
:
G is also equal to 48% Male athletes {{{.48M}}} plus 55% Female athletes{{{.55F}}}.......so seeing these equal to each other 
:
.52(M+F)=.48M+.55F
:
.52M+.52F=.48M+.55M
:
.04M=.03F
:
.04M/F=.03
:
{{{highlight(M/F=.03/.04=3/4)}}}meaning there are 3 male athletes for every 4 Female athletes
