at the gym club there are 5 males for every 3 females. the total attendance at the gym last week was 520. how many were males?
We can say that the ratio of males to females is 5:3 and we can solve this:
The total number of parts is 5+3 = 8
520/8 = 65
We can rewrite the ratio as:
565:365
325:195
Therefore there was 325 males
310 plus 210 make 520 so I would say 100 more males than females.
