There are 9 male teachers for every 14 female teachers,if there 69 teachers in all,how many teachers are female?
Answer:
42 females
Step-by-step explanation:
9 males for every 14 females, the ratio is 9:14
9:14 = 69
Solve by transposition:
9x + 14x = 69
23x = 69
23x/23 = 69/23
x = 3
Evaluate x as 3
9x = 9(3) = 27
14x = 14(3) = 42
There are 27 males and 42 females.
Checking:
9x + 14x = 69
9(3) + 14(3) = 69
27 + 42 = 69
69 = 69
CHECK
