b) 9 to 8

c) 8 : 9

Hey!

-------------------------------------------------

Solution:

The ratio is FEMALES to MALES.

So its 18/16, 18:16, or 18 to 16.

~Now we need to simplify.

18:16 → 18/2:16/2 → 9:8

*Note* When you have a ratio you need to know which comes first. If you put males to females that incorrect. It has to be correct according to the question.

length = 10 unit

breadth = 3 unit

applying the formula,

= l × b

= 10 × 3

= 30 unit^2
