Question

6. The ratio of the number of male and female workers in a textile mill is 5 : 3. If there
115 male workers, what is the number of female workers in the mill​

Answer 1

Let's consider the common multiple to be ⇒ x

Number of Male Workers in the Textile Mill ⇒ 5x

Number of Female Workers in the Textile Mill ⇒ 3x

According to the question, we know that,

Number of Male Workers in the Textile Mill ⇒ 115

Now to find the common multiple's value, we will solve this equation ⇒ 5x = 115

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5x = 115

Step 1: Divide 5 from both sides of the equation.

⇒ 5x ÷ 5 = 115 ÷ 5

⇒ x = 23

Number of Female Workers in the Textile Mill ⇒ 3x

Number of Female Workers in the Textile Mill ⇒ 3 × 23 = 69

∴ The number of female workers in the textile mill is 69.

» Let, the number be x

» No.of male is 5x

» No.of female is 3x

» No.of male workers in the textile mill is given as 115

➨ According to the question,

⇒ 5x = 115

⇒ x = $\sf\dfrac{\cancel{115}}{\cancel{5}}$

➠ x = 23

➣ No.of female workers in the textile mill,

⇒ 3x

⇒ 3(23)

$\dashrightarrow$ 69

$\therefore$ The number of female workers in the textile mill is $\boxed{\bold{\large{69}}}$ .
