There is a total of 270 men, women and children on a train. The ratio of men to women is 4 : 5.
The ratio of women to children is 10 : 9.
How many men are on the train?

Give your final answer as

s ... men on the train.

There are 80 men on the train.

Step-by-step explanation:

80 Men

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer,

the second term of the first ratio must be equal to the first term of second ratio.

Thus,

4:5 = 4×2 : 5×2 = 8:10

Now,

The ratio of men to women is 8:10

& the ratio of women to children is 10:9.

Therefore,

Men:women:children = 8:10:9

Let the common multiple be 'a'.

From the given condition,

8a + 10a + 9a = 270

27a = 270

a = 10

Thus,

Number of total men in the train is:

8a = 8 × 10 = 80

Therefore, there are total 80 men in the train.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
