no of males=780

let no of female be x

12/11=780/x

x= 715

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of females is 715.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the common factor between their ratios.

∴ The ratios are 12x and 11x respectively.

Here , it is given that the number of males is 780.

⇒ 12x = 780

     x = $\frac{780}{12}$

     x = 65.

∴ The number of females =  11x

                                           = 11 x 65

                                           = 715.

The number of females is 715.
