3 men

4 women

7 total


3 men/ 7 total = 198 men/ x total

using cross products

3*x = 7 * 198

divide each side by 3

x = 7*198/3

x = 462

There are 462 workers


If you mean 3 men and 1 women for a total of 4 workers when you state a  ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4.

3/4 =198/x

Using cross products

3x = 4* 198

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 4*198/3

x =264

264 workers


It all depends on how you define ratio of men and women in a certain factory is 3 to 4.   This is incorrect phrasing and I took it to be men to women.   You cannot have a ratio of men and women.

Suatu jenis roti memerlukan 150 gram tepung dan 50 gram mentega. Roti jenis lain memerlukan 75 gram tepung dan 75 gram mentega,

Let the one type of the bread be bread A
The second type of the bread be bread B

Let the flour be 'f' and the butter be 'b'

We need 150f + 50b for bread A and 75f + 75b for bread B

We can compare the amount of flour and bread needed for each bread and write them as ratio

FLOUR

Bread A : Bread B
150 : 75
2 : 1

We have a total of 2250gr of flour, and this amount is to be divided into the ratio of 2 parts : 1 part. There is a total of 3 parts. 

2250 ÷ 3 = 750 gr for one part then multiply back into the ratio to get

Bread A : Bread B = (2×750) : (1×750) = 1500 : 750


BUTTER

Bread A : Bread B = 50 : 75 = 2 : 3

The amount of butter available, 1250 gr is to be divided into 2 parts : 3 parts.
There are 5 parts in total

1250 ÷ 5 = 250 gr for one part, then multiply this back into the ratio 

Bread A: Bread B = (2×250) : (3×250) = 500 : 750

Hence, for bread A we need 1500 gr of flour and 500 gr of butter, and for bread B, we need 750 gr of flour and 750 gr of butter.
