Answer:
[tex]W = \frac{12}{17}[/tex] -- Women
[tex]M = \frac{5}{17}[/tex] --- Men
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Men = 10[/tex] --- not 1010
[tex]Women = 24[/tex]
Solving (a) Fraction of Women
This is calculated as:
[tex]W = \frac{Women}{Men + Women}[/tex]
Substitute values for Women and Men
[tex]W = \frac{24}{10+24}[/tex]
[tex]W = \frac{24}{34}[/tex]
Simplify fraction
[tex]W = \frac{12}{17}[/tex]
Solving (b) Fraction of Men
This is calculated as:
[tex]M = \frac{Men}{Men + Women}[/tex]
Substitute values for Women and Men
[tex]M = \frac{10}{10+24}[/tex]
[tex]M = \frac{10}{34}[/tex]
Simplify fraction
[tex]M = \frac{5}{17}[/tex]
