The ratio of men to women working for a company is 5 to 3 . If there are 75 men working for the company, what is the total number of employees?

We read this as a proportion, of men to women.

5/3 = 75/w where w is the number of women for 75 men.

Entering this expression into our proportion calculator, we get w = 45.
