Answer 2

Answer:

Number of females employees   are 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of employees = 200

Ratio of number of females employees to number of males = $\frac{5}{3}$

As Ration is 5 by 3

Let,

Number of females employees = $5x$

Number of males employees = $3x$

So, total employees are = $8x$

After Equating total number of employees we get

$8x = 200\\x = \frac{200}{8} \\x = 25$

As we get the value of x we can put it and find number of females employees.

Number of females employees = $5x$

Number of females employees =  $5$ × $25$

Number of females employees = $125$
