men : children = 11 : 2
women : children = 10 : 3
(i) find the ratio men : women
(ii) the gold club has 24 members who are children.
find total number of members
(i) We need to have a common basis for the ratios
Men : Children = 11 : 2 = 33 : 6
Woman : Children = 10 : 3 = 20 : 6
Therefore ....... Men : Women = 33 : 20
(ii) The number of men = (33/6) * 24 = 132
The number of women = (20/6) *24 = 80
Total members = 132 + 80 + 24 = 236
