During a prize giving day in a school,the ratio of women to men who attended was 4:5. If 360 people attended the ceremony,how many men were in attendance
Let the number of women be represented by 4x and the number of men be represented by 5x.
The total number of attendees is 4x + 5x = 9x, and we know that 9x = 360.
Dividing both sides by 9, we get x = 40.
So, the number of men in attendance is 5x = 5(40) = 200.
Therefore, there were 200 men in attendance at the ceremony.
