Problema Solution

In the local coed softball league, the male to female ratio is 6:6. If there are 160 players in the league, how many are female?

Answer provided by our tutors

The male to female ratio is 6:6 and since 6:6 = 1:1 means there is the same number of female and male players.

There is total of 160 players (together female and male) thus the number of female players is half that number:

160 : 2 = 80

There are 80 female players.
