Answer:

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.
