Answer:

There are 6 men in the dance recital.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a ratio of 2:5, men to women. If there are 15 female performers we can do a cross multiplication to find the males performers:

Then it will be

[tex]\tt \frac{15}{x} =\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\tt 5x=15*2[/tex]

[tex]\tt 5x=30[/tex]

[tex]\tt x=\frac{30}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\tt x=6[/tex]

[tex]\tt Therefore,there~are~6~Men~at~the~dance[/tex]
