Answer 1

Given:-

A ratio of men to women working for a company is 4 to 5.If there are 64 men working.

To find the total number of employees.

So now we calculate the number of woman working by,

`\begin{gathered} (4)/(5)=(64)/(x) \\ x=(64*5)/(4) \\ x=16*5 \\ x=80 \end{gathered}`

so the number of woman working is 80.

So the total number of employees are,

`64+80=144`

So the required solution is 144.
