Question

In an office the total number of person working is 75. If ratio of men to women in the office. Is 2 : 3 then a) How many men and how many women are working in the office
b) Next month 5 more men joined the office. Now what is the ratio of men to women in the office? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) sum of ratio :- 2+3 = 5

women ------ 2/5 × 75 = 30

men ------- 3/5 × 75 = 45

b) no. of men now --- 45+5 = 50

new ratio = 50:30 { reducing them,dividing by 10}

= 10:6 ( dividing by 2)

= 5:3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people working=75

Ratio=2:3

Let ratio of women be 2x

And men be 3x

2x+3x=75

5x=75

x=75/5=15

Total number of men=2x=15x2=30

Total number of women=3x=15x3=45

b)Next month 5 more men joined

Total number of men=30+5=35

Now the ratio =35

                          45

                        =7/9=7:9

Hope it helped it you:)
