Answer 2

Number of females = 800

Solution:

Ratio of males to females = 5 : 4

Let the number of males and females be 5x and 4x respectively.

Number of males = 1000

⇒ 5x = 1000

Divide by 5 on both side of the equation.

$\Rightarrow\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{1000}{5}$

⇒ x = 200

Substitute x = 200 in number of females.

Number of females = 4x

                                = 4 × 200

                                = 800

Number of females = 800
