14 Number of men who liked soccer
=
310 x 2 u
= 0.6 u
Number of women who liked soccer
= 2 u - 0.6 u
= 1.4 u
Number of men who disliked soccer
=
14 x 1 u
= 0.25 u
Number of women who disliked soccer
= 1 u - 0.25 u
= 0.75 u
Total number of women
= 1.4 u + 0.75 u
= 2.15 u
Total number of men
= 0.6 u + 0.25 u
= 0.85 u
Women : Men
2.15 : 0.85
(x20)43 : 17
Answer(s): 43 : 17
