What is the ratio of the number of participants from Country D to the number of female participants from Country E?
A11:2 ✓ Correct
B11:5
C13:4
D7:3
Correct answer: (A) 11:2
Explanation
The ratio is 11 to 2, so the answer is 11 to 2.
Total participants from Country D are 12 percent of 1100, which is 132.
Total participants from Country E are 9 percent of 1100, which is 99.
Male participants from Country E are 10 percent of 750, which is 75.
So female participants from Country E are 99 minus 75, which is 24.
The ratio is 132 to 24, which simplifies by dividing by 12.
That gives 11 to 2.
