14 Number of women who liked gymnastics
=
15 x 6 u
= 1.2 u
Number of men who liked gymnastics
= 6 u - 1.2 u
= 4.8 u
Number of women who disliked gymnastics
=
14 x 1 u
= 0.25 u
Number of men who disliked gymnastics
= 1 u - 0.25 u
= 0.75 u
Total number of men
= 4.8 u + 0.75 u
= 5.55 u
Total number of women
= 1.2 u + 0.25 u
= 1.45 u
Men : Women
5.55 : 1.45
(x20)111 : 29
Answer(s): 111 : 29
