Question

How many senators are Republicans

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

The total ratio is 5+4=9

To find the number of senators who are either Republicans or Democrat, we multiply the total number by proportion of each.

Senators who are Democrats will be 100*4/9=44

The senators who are Republicans will be found by deducting the total number from number of Democrats hence 100-44=56 senators

Alternatively, using proportion, Republican senators are 100*5/9=56
