Q) 4/5 of the women and 3/4 of the men speak Spanish. If there are 40% as many men as women, what fraction of the group speaks Spanish ?
Need to plug in answer into the fraction box.
My doubt is if we consider,
M = 40% Women
Say W = 100
M = 40
Solving this we get "11/14 or equivalent form" (which is the answer given behind)
But if we consider,
W = 200
M = 80
(4/5) of 200 = 160
(3/5) of 80 = 48
Fraction of group speaking Spanish = 208/280 = 26/25
Why this ambiguity ?
Thanks
