Answer 2

$\huge{\sf{Answer-}}$

Number of males is 210 and number of females is 240.

$\rule{200}2$

Explanation-

The ratio of males to females was 7:8.

Let the number of males be 7M and females be 8M.

450 people attended a wedding.

Total number of people = 450

We have to find the number of males and females who attended the wedding.

$\small{\sf{\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{\underline{As\:per\:given\:condition}}}}$

$\boxed{\sf{Total\:number\:of\:people\:=\:Number\:of\:males\:+\:Number\:of\:females}}$

ACCORDING TO QUESTION

$\implies\:\sf{450\:=\:7M+8M}$

$\implies\:\sf{450\:=\:15M}$

$\implies\:\sf{\frac{450}{15}\:=\:M}$

$\implies\:\sf{30\:=\:M}$

$\implies\:\sf{M\:=\:30}$

Therefore,

Number of males = 7M = 7(30) = 210

Number of females = 8M = 8(30) = 240

Verification

Total number of people who attend the wedding = Number of males + Number of females

⇒ 450 = 210 + 240

⇒ 450 = 450
