    13 or 13.125 you have to look at your notes to see which it is. Personally I would take 13. Try that first.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Be careful how you interpret this question. It reads like this.

    3:8 : : x:35

    In other words, the 8 and 35 females goes together.

    Set this up as a proportion

    3/8 = x / 35 Cross multiply

    3*35 = 8x Combine the left

    105 = 8x Switch

    8x = 105 Divide by 8

    x = 105 / 8 get the answer

    x = 13.125 You cannot have 1/8 of a person. So what are you going to do?

    You have to round down. x = 13. How close is this

    13/35 = 0.371 as apposed to 0.375 which is what 3/8 is.
