Nadine has 860 female followers out of a total of 1260 followers in the social photosharing site. Find the ratio of female to male followers.
43:20
Ratio is a comparison between two or more quantities indicating the amount of one quantity in the others. To find the value between quantity A with a value
and quantity B with a value 
, we write Quantity A : Quantity B = 
. [the colon (:) is read “it to”]
Thus, given that there are 860 female followers out of a total of 1260 followers, this means that there are 1260 – 860 = 400 male followers.
Therefore, the ratio of female to male followers is number of female followers : number of male followers = 860 : 400 = 43 : 20 [divide through by the GCD].
Answer: 43 : 20
