Question

There are 156 attendees at a family reunion.

The ratio of the men to women is 8 to 5.

How many more women would need to attend the gathering so that the ratio is 1 to 1.

Men : Women = 8 : 5

Sum of ratio = 8 + 5 = 13

156 ÷ 13 = 12
Actual men : Actual women
8×128 \times 12 : 5×125 \times 12
96 : 60

∴\therefore {{{correctAnswer0}}} more women need to attend for a 1 to 1 ratio.
