Given, Number of females = 125
Number of males = 100
Total people = 120+100=225
Now, the ratio of males to the total number of people present = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Total number of males}}{\text{Total people}}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{100}{225}[/tex]
Divide numerator and denominator by 25 , we get

Hence, the ratio of males to the total number of people present = 4:9
