Answer 2

Answer:

The number of men in the office will be 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the ratio of men to women in an office is given to be 4:3

Also, the number of women is given to be 15

Now, let the number of men and women be 4x and 3x respectively

number of women = 3x

                          15 = 3x

                            x = 15/3

                             x = 5

number of men = 4x

                          = 4 × 5

                          = 20
