Question

The ratio of men to women in village is 6:5. If there are 420 mens, find the number of women.​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 350 women in the village

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of women = x

Number of men = 420

Men : Women = 6:5

As per the question —

$\frac{6}{5} = \frac{420}{x}$

Cross-multiplying —

$6x = 5 \times 420$

$x = \frac{5 \times 420}{6} = 5 \times 70 = 350$

So, number of women = 350

Hope this helps you :)
