110 Number of men who liked canoeing
=
14 x 6 u
= 1.5 u
Number of women who liked canoeing
= 6 u - 1.5 u
= 4.5 u
Number of men who disliked canoeing
=
110 x 1 u
= 0.1 u
Number of women who disliked canoeing
= 1 u - 0.1 u
= 0.9 u
Total number of men
= 1.5 u + 0.1 u
= 1.6 u
Total number of women
= 4.5 u + 0.9 u
= 5.4 u
Women : Men
1.6 : 5.4
(x5)8 : 27
Answer(s): 8 : 27
