Answer :-

  • The total number of women is 240 women.

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find:-

  • Number of women.

Solution:

Given that,

  • The numbers of men and women in a village are in the ratio of 5:8
  • Number of men = 150

Assumption:-

Let us assume,

  • The number of men = 5x
  • The number of women = 8x

As given,

Number of men = 150, So,

  • 5x = 150

And the value of x is,

5x = 150

x = 150/5

x = 30

As, the common multiple is (x), [ 5x and 8x ], So.

We can find out the number of women by putting the value of x :-

∴ Number of women are :-

8x

8*30

240 women.

Hence, the number of women in the village are 240 women.
