There are 55 men and 4 women on an airplane. What is the ratio of the number of male passengers to the total number of passengers?

*Write your answer as a fraction. Use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.*


To find the ratio of the number of male passengers to the total number of passengers, follow these steps:

1. **Number of men:** 55
2. **Number of women:** 4
3. **Total number of passengers:**  
   \[
   \text{Number of men} + \text{Number of women} = 55 + 4 = 59
   \]

4. **Ratio of male passengers to total passengers:**  
   \[
   \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of men}}{\text{Total number of passengers}} = \frac{55}{59}
   \]

So, the ratio is **55/59**.
