Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total parts is 3+1 =4

Each part is

$20/4$

= 5 people.

So there are currently 5 women and 5*3 = 15 men

We want to add x women so ratio becomes

$</p><p>15/(5+x) = 3/2 \\ </p><p></p><p>30 = 15+ 3x \\ </p><p></p><p>X=5$

So they need 5 more women on the comitee.
