Answer 1

Answer:

1) 5/3=115/x

5x=345

x=345/5

x=69

The number of female workers in mill will be 69.

Answer 2

Answer:

1)69

2)160

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

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

m:f=5x:3x

we have 'm' workers numbers 115

5x=115

x=23

'f' workers are 3*23=69

2)The boys(b) and the girls(g) in a school are in the ratio 9 : 5. If the total strength of the school is  448, find the number of girls.​

let b:g=9x:5x

total is 9x+5x=14x

14x=448

x=32

'g' are 5*32=160
