110 Number of women who liked canoeing
=
38 x 2 u
= 0.75 u
Number of men who liked canoeing
= 2 u - 0.75 u
= 1.25 u
Number of women who disliked canoeing
=
110 x 1 u
= 0.1 u
Number of men who disliked canoeing
= 1 u - 0.1 u
= 0.9 u
Total number of women
= 0.75 u + 0.1 u
= 0.85 u
Total number of men
= 1.25 u + 0.9 u
= 2.15 u
Men : Women
0.85 : 2.15
