512: Factory Ratios 3
We started with this:
If the ugly-sweater party was held in that factory with the minimum number of workers possible and the ratio of red to green ugly sweaters was 7:13, how likely is it that a left-handed man wore a red ugly sweater?
Source:
In a factory, the ratio of men to women is 2:3. The ratio of right-handed men to left-handed men is 7:3. The ratio of right-handed women to left-handed women is 11:1. What fraction of the factory workforce is right-handed?
And then we extended with: What is the fewest number of employees possible in this building?
And then we extended with: What is the fewest number of employees possible in this building?
