Answer:

18 women

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 7 + 2 = 9 parts

Divide 45 by 9 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

45 ÷ 9 = 5 ← value of 1 part, thus

7 parts = 7 × 5 = 35 ← number of men

2 parts = 2 × 5 = 10 ← number of women

We require to change the ratio to 5 : 4

The 5 part of the ratio represents the number of men, thus

35 ÷ 5 = 7 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

4 × 7 = 28 ← number of women

Number of women required to join existing committee = 28 - 10 = 18

All you need to do is solve it
\frac{1}{2} ^{2} or \frac{1}{2}  x \frac{1}{2}
When solved your answer is 0.25 or 1/4
------------------------
What I did to solve it was....

1. Divide top fraction by bottom fraction to get decimal
1 ÷ 2 = 0.5

2. Then multiply 0.5 by its self (the same as putting it to the ^2)
0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25
