Answer 1

Answer:

like this you have to do

The population of a town is 180,000, out of which males are 1/3 of the whole population. Find the

number of females. Also, find the ratio of the number of females to the whole population.

ans - It is given that Total population = 180000

So the population of males =

3

1

×180000=60,000

Similarly the population of females = 180000 – 60000 = 120000

Here the ratio of females to whole population = 120000: 180000 = 2: 3

Answer 2

Answer:

Population of women = 60000 womens

ratio of the number of men to the number of children. = 4:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Population of men = 1/2 × 160000

= 80000 mens

Population of children = 1/8 × 160000

= 20000

Population of women =16000 - (20000+80000)

= 60000 womens

ratio of the number of men to the number of children = 80000:20000

=4:1
