There were 700 spectators the ratio of men to women is 17:18 how many women attended

The total number of women who attended=360

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of men and women can be expressed as;

Total number of men = (ratio of men/total ratio) * total number of spectators

where;

ratio of men=17

Total ratio = (17+18) = 35

replacing;

Total number of men = (17/35) * 700=340

Total number of men=340

Total number of women = (ratio of women/total ratio) * total number of spectators

where;

ratio of women=18

Total ratio = (17+18) = 35

replacing;

Total number of women = (18/35) * 700=360

Total number of women=360
