If the ratio of men to women is 3:2 and there are 120 men, how many women would there be?

2 answers:

5 0

There would be 80 women.
Here's the work:
120 divided by 3 = 40
If the ratio is 3:2, there is always one less woman then men, so you subtract the 40 men in a group and you get your answer of 80

Hope I helped!! :)

I think the answer is 80, but I'm not quite sure : (

Step-by-step explanation:

$y-2x>-8\qquad\text{add}\ 2x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\y>2x-8\\-------------------------\\\\-\ dotted\ line\\\leq,\ \geq-\ solid\ line\\,\ \geq-\ shading\ above\ the\ line\\-------------------------\\\\y=2x-8-\text{It's a linear function.}\\\text{We only need two points to draw a graph.}\\\text{Choice two arbitrary values of x, substitute to the equation,}\\\text{and calculate the values of y}.\\\\for\ x=4\to y=2(4)-8=8-8=0\to A(4,\ 0)\\for\ x=0\to y=2(0)-8=0-8=-8\to B(0,\ -8)$
