Answer:
There are 1,250 women
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of men to women is 6 to 5, and there are 1,500 men, the actual ratio of men to women is 1,500 to x, where x is equal to the amount of women at the college.
Since 6/5 is equal to 1,500/x, you cross multiply to find that 7,500 is eual to 6x.
Divide both sides by 6 to find that x is equal to 1,250 women.
