In a factory, there are 120 workers, of whom 45 are women and the remaining are men. The ratio of men to women is?

Answer: 5:3
Explanation

Total workers = 120

Women = 45

Men = 120 − 45 = 75

Now, the ratio of men to women = 75 : 45

Simplify by dividing both by 15:

75 ÷ 15 = 5

45 ÷ 15 = 3

The ratio of men to women is 5:3.
