Answer:

3:5 or 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are -->

56 Females

84 Males

We need to find the total amt. of ppl

56 + 84 = 140

Males/140 --> Plug 84 in => 84/140

Since it wants simplified, divide both by 7 as 7 is a factor of both -->

12/20 --> Divide by 4

3/5 => This is the most simplified we can get and -->

thus, our answer is 3:5 or 3/5

Hope this helps!
