In a class full of men and women, 5 9 of the class are women. What is the ratio of men to women in its simplest form?

Do you mean 5/9? I say the answer is 5:9 because it can’t be furthermore simplified.

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
