Question

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 4 to 7. If there are 165 employees total, how many women work for the company?

Answer 1

Answer: 105

Explanation:

Given

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 4:7

There are total of 165 employees

Suppose, there is 4x men and 7x women such that the ratio remains constant

`\therefore 4x+7x=165\\\Rightarrow 11x=165\\\Rightarrow x=15`

`\text{Men= }4* 15=60\\\text{Women= }7* 15=105`
