QUESTION:
Office
is a small office.
In the morning of day 1 the ratio of male to female workers in the office is 15 : 7.
In the evening of day 1 the unsimplified fraction of male to female workers in the office is
164 males entered the office at lunchtime and stayed for the remainder of the day.
184 females entered the office at lunchtime and stayed for the remainder of the day.
Find the number of females that were in Office
at the start of day 1.
ATTEMPT:
This question has been a bang in the head for me. I have went to my teacher and he took half an hour and still didn't figure it out. I'm not sure where to begin it from, as the unsimplifed fraction is tripping me up.
Can someone help offer guidance for me please?
