Answer:

I don't know how to explain the math, but I know the answer is 115 women for every 100 men.

Answer:

  about 115 women

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to raise the value on the left side of the ratio by a factor of 100/87. Multiply both numbers by that factor, and you get ...

  (100/87)(87) : (100/87)(100)

  = 100 : (10,000/87) = 100 : 114.9425...

  ≈ 100 : 115

There are about 115 women for each 100 men.
