Answer 2

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.
