    I'm doing some infographics on population in video games and stuff like that

    just curious on working out the number of males in females of a population when you have the ratio....probably pretty simple stuff but I want to make sure I have it right

    So if the population of Greece is 11,306,183 and the ratio of males to females is 1.06 males to 1 female, how do you work out what that number is from the total population?

    To get the number of males, you multiply the total population by 1.06/2.06. To get females, you multiply by 1/2.06.

    Edit: Fantastic cat!
