Women=20:12
men=15:11

treat as fraction and see which one is lease, remember to put 15 or 20 as top number since we are compareing them

20/12
15/11
try to compare by making bottom number same
20/12 times 11/11=220/132
15/11 time 12/12=180/132

ratios are
220:132

and women are more so women's team have more long to short
