Answer 2

Answer:

To find the no. of widowers we need to find the total number of widows a nd widowers

so,

Let the total no. of both be x .

sum of ratios = 9+7=16

no. of widows

$= > \frac{9}{16} \times x = \: 22500$

$= > x = \frac{22500}{9} \times 16$

=> x = 40,000

so the number of widowers

will be

$\frac{7}{16} \times 40000$

= 17500

Alternative method : 40000 - 22500 = 17500
