Answer:

17600

Explanation:

Given,

Ratio of men to women = 12:8

No. of men present at the match = 26400

To find: No. of women at the match

Let us assume that the no. of women = w

No. of men at the match = m

Thus,


(m)/(w) = (12)/(8)


(26400)/(w) = (12)/(8)


w = (26400* 8)/(12)


w = 17600

Thus, 17600 women were present at the match.
