Accepted Answer

1. Total students = 9000 and female students = 3500, so total male students = $9000-3500=5500$.

2. From the pie charts (reading the segments for countries B and C): male students from B = 300 and from C = 200, so male(B+C) = $300+200=500$.

3. From the total-students pie chart: total students (male+female) from B = 600 and from C = 300, so total(B+C) = $600+300=900$.

4. Required ratio = male(B+C) : total(B+C) = $500:900$. Simplify by dividing both terms by 100 to get $5:9$.
