Question

In a village of 121 people, the ratio of men to women is 6 : 5 Find the number of men and women?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

ANSWER:-

Given:-

Total Number of People - 121

Women - 6x

Men - 5x

Men AND Women =?

For this , I have considered x as constant.

We can sah that

Total men and women make Number of people.

so,

$6x + 5x = 121$

$11x = 121$

$x = \frac{121}{11}$

$x = 11$

$6x = 6 \times 11 = 66$

$5x = 5 \times 11 = 55$

So , women are 66 and Men are 55 in number.

THINGS to Note:-

• Always consider a constant x
• This makes equation easy
• Do not forget to multiply or divide the coefficient
• Multiplication of either side becomes Division
• Vice versa is also applicable.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathtt{\underline{\underline{Given:-}}}$

• Total Number of People - 121
• Women - 6x
• Men - 5x

$\huge\mathtt{\underline{\underline{To\:Find:-}}}$

• Man and women = ?

$\huge\mathtt{\underline{\underline{Solution:-}}}$

For this , I have considered x as constant.

We can sah that

Total men and women make Number of people.

so,

$6x + 5x = 121 \\ = > 11x = 121 \\ = > x = \frac{121}{11} \\ = > x = 11$

Therefore, we get the value of x is 11.

Putting the value,

$6x = 6 \times 11 = 66$

$5x = 5 \times 11 = 55$

Hence we get the number of women are 66 and men are 55.
