11. In a gym the ratio of men to women with membership is 5:2. If the gym has 735 persons with membership, how many men will there be?

The ratio is 5:7 when you are dealing with total membership. In other words, out of every 7 members, 5 will be men and 2 will be women

The ratio will look like this

5:7 = x:735 change to a proportion

5/7 = x / 735 Cross Multiply

7*x = 5 * 735 Combine the right

7*x = 3675 Divide by 7

x = 3675/7 Divide

x = 525

Answer: 525 men
