In the local coed softball league, the male to female ratio is 6:28. If there are 170 playes in the league, how many are female?

140 softball players are female

Step-by-step explanation:

alright so sorry if this doesn't make much sense lol.

start by replacing the ratios with x values, so instead of 6:28 it's now 6x and 28x.

the total players is 170, so 6x + 28x = 170.

6 + 28 = 34, so 34x = 170

170/34 = 5

x=5

5 * 6 = 30, so 30 males

5* 28 = 140, so 140 females.

Hope this helps!
