Q. There are

28

women and

21

men attending online webinar. what is the ratio of women to the total number of people ?

Determine total number of people: Determine the total number of people attending the webinar. $\newline$ To find the total number of people, we add the number of women to the number of men. $\newline$ Total number of people = Number of women + Number of men $\newline$ Total number of people = $28$ + $21$
Calculate total number: Calculate the total number of people attending the webinar. $\newline$ Using the numbers from Step $1$ , we perform the addition. $\newline$ Total number of people = $28 + 21$ $\newline$ Total number of people = $49$
Calculate ratio of women: Calculate the ratio of women to the total number of people. $\newline$ The ratio is the number of women divided by the total number of people. $\newline$ Ratio of women to total = Number of women / Total number of people $\newline$ Ratio of women to total = $\frac{28}{49}$
Simplify the ratio: Simplify the ratio, if possible. $\newline$ In this case, the ratio $\frac{28}{49}$ can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is $7$ . $\newline$ Simplified ratio = $(\frac{28}{7}) / (\frac{49}{7})$ $\newline$ Simplified ratio = $\frac{4}{7}$
