The ratio of women to men in the theater was 5 to 4. If there are 1200 women, how many men were there?

There should be 960 men there if the ratio of women to men is 5:4 and there are 1200 women. Set up a proportion to solve this word problem, cross multiply to get your answer.
so 5x = 4800 divide both sides by 5 x= 960 (x represent the men)
