Answer 1

If the ratio of the men and woman is 2:3.
Let the ratio be 2x:3x. 

The number of men is 612.
then x = 612/2 = 306.

The number of woman will be 306 x 3 = 918.
Please mark it brainiest answer.......................

Answer 2

given ratio = 2 : 3
sum of ratio = 2+3 = 5
men in village = 612
women in village = 2:3 * x = 612
2 * x = 612 * 5 = (612 * 5) ÷ 2 = 3060 ÷ 2 = 1530 - 612 =938.
∴ there are 938 women in the village.
