110 Number of men who liked rugby
=
38 x 2 u
= 0.75 u
Number of women who liked rugby
= 2 u - 0.75 u
= 1.25 u
Number of men who disliked rugby
=
110 x 1 u
= 0.1 u
Number of women who disliked rugby
= 1 u - 0.1 u
= 0.9 u
Total number of women
= 1.25 u + 0.9 u
= 2.15 u
Total number of men
= 0.75 u + 0.1 u
= 0.85 u
Women : Men
2.15 : 0.85
(x20)43 : 17
Answer(s): 43 : 17
