    The ratio of men to women working for a company is 3 to 4. If there are 81 men working for the company, what is the total number of employees?

    Men to women is 3:4. Set up a proportion where w is the number of women:
    3/4 = 81/w

    Using our proportion calculator, we get w = 108.

    The problem asks for total employees, so we add men and women:
    Total Employees = Men + Women
    Total Employees = 81 + 108
    Total Employees = 189
