The ration for women to men is: 

5:8 
104:x 

8x104=5x
832=5x 
832/5=x 
166.4 =x 

However, you cannot have 0.4 of a person, so the number of men is 166. 

Total number of employees are: 166+104=270 

Hope I helped :)

ValentinkaMS [17]
Hello there.

<span>There are 24 pizzas. each person gets 1/3 of a pizza. how many people can be fed from the 24 pizzas?

Answer: There are 3 thirds in a whole.
Therefore 3 people could be fed by 1 pizza.
Since there are 24 , multiply 3 by 24.
3 x 24 =  72.
The number of people that could be fed from the 24 pizzas is 72.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^</span>
