Answer 2

Let the total number of people in the colony = 'x'.

Given that (6/8) of the total people were females = (6/8) * x = 6x/8.

Then, the number of males = x - (6x/8).

Given that number of females is 36 more than that of number of males.

= > 6x/8 = 36 + (x - 6x/8)

= > (6x/8) = 36 + (2x/8)

= > (6x/8) - (2x/8) = 36

= > (4x/8) = 36

= > 4x = 288

= > x = 72.

Now,

Number of males in the colony = x - (6x/8)

= > (2x/8)

= > 2(72)/8

= > 144/8

= > 18.

Therefore, the number of males in the colony = 18.

Hope it helps!
