AI explanation

Given the total employees ratio of 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 and the 2022 total of 250, one ratio unit equals 50. Therefore, the total employees in 2021 is 4 multiplied by 50, which is 200, making the female employees equal to 200 minus 76, or 124. For 2023, the total employees are 6 multiplied by 50, which equals 300, resulting in female employees of 300 minus 112, equaling 188. The ratio of male employees in 2021 to female employees in 2023 is 76 : 188, which simplifies to 31 : 47.
