The ratio of men to women at a meeting is 7:6.If there are 28 men at the meeting; a. How many women are at the meeting?
b. How many men and women are at the meeting? ​

A) 24 women

B) 52 men and women are at the meeting

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Let y = women at the meeting

7:6 = 28:y

7/6 = 28/y

6×38 = 7y

6×28⁴/7¹ = 7y¹/7¹

y= 6×24

y=24

B)

Number of women at the meeting = 24

Number of men at the meeting = 28

Total number of people at the meeting = 24+28

= 52

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)
