Answer:here are approximately 143 women
Explanation:
Step 1
Given that for every 19 women, there are 81 men in the United States Air Force therefore we can say the ratio between the men and women is given as 81:19
such that the fraction to represent men = ratio of men/ total ratio of men and women
81/(19 + 81)= 81/ 100 =0.81
and the fraction to represent women = ratio of women/ total ratio of men and women
19/(19 + 81)= 19/ 100 = 0.19
Step 2-
To calculate the number of men in a 750 squadron, we have that
fraction of men x number of members
=0.81 x 750= 607.5 ≈ 608
To calculate the number of women in a 750 squadron, we have that
fracton of women x number of members
=0.19 x 750= 142.5 ≈ 143
Therefore there are approximately 143 women .
