please answer me step by step​

Answer 1

Answer:

2/5 of the population were men

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we should convert 1/4 to a value with the denominator to 20 which equals 5/20

Next, we should add 7/20 and 5/20 which equals 12/20

Then, we should subtract 12/20 from 20/20 (the total population) which equals 8/20 and when we simplify it, then it equals to 2/5.
