A community service organization has 16 men and 25 women in its membership. Write the ratio of women to men.
Ok, I'm not totally understanding ratio's, but would the answer just be 16/25? Any guidence if I am wrong would be greatly appreciated! :) Thank you ;-)

"ratio of women to men" would be 25/16 or 25:16. The first one listed is "women" so the number for women must come first.
