Answer 1

the United States Air Force has 19 women for every 81 men enlisted in a squadron has 750 member approximately how many women round your answer to the nearest whole number ​

we have that

Let

x -----> the number of women

y ----> the number of men

so

x+y=750 -------> equation A

x/y=19/81--------> y/x=81/19

y=(81/19)x ------> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

x+(81/19)x=750

solve for x

(100/19)x=750

x=(750*19)/100

x=142.5

therefore

the number of women is 143
