48 people work at an office. 1 2 of the workers are women, and 2 3 of the people are married. What is the maximum possible number of unmarried women at the office?​

Answer 1

Answer:

18 maximum number of unmarried women

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 of 48 are women means total women are 24

2/3 married means 32 people are married.

To get Maximum number of unmarried women, we must make sure that there should be maximum number of married men.

So, let assume all the 24 men are married,

which means 24 out of 32 people are married men and rest is women i.e. 6

So total women were 24

out of 24, 6 women are married,

which meana 24-6= 18

maximum possibility of 18 unmarried women.
