14 Number of men who liked volleyball
=
15 x 2 u
= 0.4 u
Number of women who liked volleyball
= 2 u - 0.4 u
= 1.6 u
Number of men who disliked volleyball
=
14 x 1 u
= 0.25 u
Number of women who disliked volleyball
= 1 u - 0.25 u
= 0.75 u
Total number of men
= 0.4 u + 0.25 u
= 0.65 u
Total number of women
= 1.6 u + 0.75 u
= 2.35 u
Women : Men
0.65 : 2.35
(x20)13 : 47
Answer(s): 13 : 47
