Problem: a total of 30 percent of the geese included in a certain migration study were male . if some of the geese migrated during the study and 25 percent of the migrating geese were male , what was the ratio of the migration rate for the male geese to the migration rate for the female geese ? [ migration rate for geese of a certain sex = ( number of geese of that sex migrating ) / ( total number of geese of that sex ) ]
Rationale: "let ' take the number of geese to be 100 . male = 30 . female = 70 . now the second part of the q , let ' s take the number migrated to be 20 . so we have 20 geese that migrated and out of that 25 % are male i . e 25 / 100 * 20 = 5 geese ( males ) and now we know out of the total 20 geese , 5 are male , then 15 have to be female . now the ratio part , male geese ratios = 5 / 30 = 1 / 6 . - a female geese ratios = 15 / 70 = 3 / 14 - b cross multiply equations a and b and you get = 9 / 7 . ans e"
