Answer 1

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

let there 3x ,7x and 5x passengers (where x is common multiple )

According to question

3x+7x+5x=135

15x=135

x=9

therefore the total numbers of women 7x=9×7=63 .

Answer 2

Given,

The ratio of men, women and children is 3:7:5.

Total number of passengers = 135

To find,

The number of women on the boat.

Solution,

The number of women on the boat will be 63.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

According to the question,

The ratio of men, women and children is 3:7:5.

Total number of passengers = 135

Now, let's take the number of men, women and children to be 3x, 7x and 5x.

So, we have:

(3x+7x+5x) = 135

15x = 135

x = 135/15

x = 9

Now, putting the value of x:

Men = 3x = (3×9)

Men = 27

Women = 7x = (7×9)

Women = 7x = (7×9)Women = 63

Children = 5x = (5×9)

Children = 45

Hence, the number of women on the boat is 63.
