110 Number of men who liked fencing
=
25 x 4 u
= 1.6 u
Number of women who liked fencing
= 4 u - 1.6 u
= 2.4 u
Number of men who disliked fencing
=
110 x 1 u
= 0.1 u
Number of women who disliked fencing
= 1 u - 0.1 u
= 0.9 u
Total number of women
= 2.4 u + 0.9 u
= 3.3 u
Total number of men
= 1.6 u + 0.1 u
= 1.7 u
Women : Men
3.3 : 1.7
