Question

there are total 30 employees in a company the ratio of male employees to the female employees is 8:7 how many female employees have to be recruited so that the ratio becomes 1: 1​

Answer 1

Answer:2 female employees should be recruited to make the ratio 1:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total employees= 30

Ratio= 8:7

Let the no. Of Male employees be 8x

Let the no. Of Female employees be 7x

Now,

8x+7x=30

15x=30

x=2

Therefore, 8x= 2*8=16

7x= 2*7=14

Now, to make the ratio equal we need to equate the numbers

So, now let the no of Female to be recruited be y.

14+y=16 ( no. of male emp=16)

y=2

Therefore 2 women should be recruited to make the ratio of mae and female emps = 1:1

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total employees =30

Ratio = 8:7

Let the number of male employees be 8x

Let the number of female employees be 7x

NOW,

8x+7x=30

15x=30

x=2

THEREFORE,

8x= 8*2=16

7x= 7*2=14

NOW,

TO MAKE THE RATIO EQUAL WE NEED TO

EQUATE THE NUMBERS.

SO, Now Let the number of females to be recruited = y

I.e. 14+y = 16 (no. of male employee = 16)

y = 2

THEREFORE, 2 WOMEN SHOULD BE RECRUITED TO

MAKE THE RATIO OF MALE AND FEMALE

EMPLOYEES = 1:1
