Ratios are used to show the proportions of two quantities.
There were 48 men at the game, if the total number of adults is 128.
Let:
[tex]M \to Men[/tex]
[tex]W \to Women[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]M : W = 3 : 5[/tex]
The total ratio is:
[tex]Total = M + W[/tex]
[tex]Total = 3 + 5[/tex]
[tex]Total = 8[/tex]
The number of men at the game is calculated using:
[tex]Men = \frac{M}{Total} \times Adults[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]Men = \frac{3}{8} \times 128[/tex]
[tex]Men = 3 \times 16[/tex]
[tex]Men = 48[/tex]
Hence, there are 48 men at the game
