Question

The population in a city is 180,000; out of which men are 1/3 of the whole population. Find the number of women. Also, find the ratio of the number of women to the whole population.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the whole population is 3x

let the population of men is x

3x=180000

x=180000/3

x=60000

population of men =60000

population of women=180000-60000=120000

Ratio of women to the total population

= 120000 : 180000

= 120 : 180

= 2 : 3
