Answer 1

Answer :-

Given :-

• Ratio of men to women = 3 : 5
• Number of men = 18

To Find :-

• Number of women

Solution :-

Let the number of men be 3x.

Number of women be 5x

Here, we are given number of men which is 18 and we have assumed the number of men to be 3x. So -

→ 3x = 18

→ x = 18 / 3

→ x = 6

→ Number of women = 5x

→ Number of women = 5 × 6

→ Number of women = 30

Number of women = 30

Answer 2

Given :-

• The Ratio of men to women = 3 : 5

• Men Working = 18

Number of Men 3x = 18

• x = 6

Since x = 6 Substitute the Value of x in 5x

Number of Women to Men

Women = 5 × 6 = 30

$\sf{ \rightarrow{ \pink{number \: of \: women \: = 30}{} }{} }{}$
