Question

In a factory, the ratio of male
workers to female workers was 5:3. If
the number of female workers is less by
40, what was the total number of
workers in the factory?​

Answer 1

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the worker = x

Male workers = 5x

Female workers = 3x

A. T. Q

5x - 3x = 40

2x = 40

x = 40/2 = 20

So, Male workers = 20 * 5 = 100

Female workers = 20 * 3 = 60

Total = 160
