Women = \(\frac{1}{3}\) of total passengers, so Men + Children = \(\frac{2}{3}\) of total.<br><br>

&bull; Let Children = 1 unit → Men = 9 units<br>
&bull; Men + Children = 10 units = \(\frac{2}{3}\) of total<br>
&bull; Total = 10 × \(\frac{3}{2}\) = 15 units<br>
&bull; Women = 15 − 10 = 5 units<br>
&bull; Men : Women = 9 : 5<br>
<br>
The ratio of the number of men to the number of women is 9 : 5.<br>
Check: 9 + 5 + 1 = 15 units total. Women = 5/15 = 1/3. ✓
