    We know how many members there are (125) and how many women there are (75). To find the ratio of men to members men/members = men members = men:members We need to know the number of men. We can substitute what we know: men/125 = men 125 = men:125 But we do not yet know the number of men.

    Think logically, if men and women compose the orchestra, we can put that into math words by saying men + women = orchestra Again, let's substitute what we know. men + 75 = 125 This is a missing addend problem. Men is being added to 75 to make 125, so how many men are there?

    men + 75 = 125 men = 50 I hope you can figure out how I got 50 men. Either way, let's check. men + women = orchestra 50 + 75 = 125 125 = 125 It works So we have everything we need to finish our problem.

    men/125 = men 125 = men:125 men = 50 Let's put it in 50/125 = 50125 = 50:125
