Answer 1

Question:-

➡ The ratio of the number of male and female workers in a textile mill is 5 : 3. If there are 115 male workers, what is the number of female workers in the mill?

Solution:-

Let the total number of female workers in the mill is x.

So,

5 : 3 = 115 : x

We know that,

Product of extremes = Product of means

➡ 5 × x = 3 × 115

➡ 5x = 345

➡ x = 69

Hence, the total number of female workers in the mill is 69.

Answer:-

➡ The total number of female workers in the mill is 69.
