Answer 2

Number of women in Cartown is 26667.

Explanation:

Let the total population of Cartown is = x

It is given in the question that two-thirds of the population in Cartown are women.

So the number women in Cartown =
`(2)/(3)* x`

And the total population (x) = 40000

Therefore, number of women =
`(2)/(3)* 40000`

=
`(80000)/(3)`

= 26666.67

≈ 26667

Therefore, number of women in Cartown are 26667.
