The ratio of men to women working for a company is 4 to 7 . if there are 60 men working for the company, what is the total number of employees?

The ratio is 4:7.

Multiply both sides until the men's side reaches 60. We find how much we multiply by with a division: 



Multiply both sides by 15:



So there are 60 men and 105 women for a total of 165 people.

One shot. if 60% of 10 is 6, then what is 70%? we know it would be seven (since 60% is mathematically 60/100, or 6/10, then 70% is 70/100, or 7/10) but we can check anyway using ratios: 6 : 60% = x : 70%*inverse multiplicationx * 60% = 6 * 70%*divide both sides by 60%x = (6 * 70%) / 60%x = 7and since he has made 6 shots already, he would need just one more to get 7 shots or 70%. if the explanation is too confusing, comment and i will try to
