I hope you mean 1/5 when you say 1 5. If that's what you mean, then both, Joshua and Melanie, are correct because, both of their equations are the same. 

Joshua's - <span>8 ÷ 1/5 = 40 (Since we can divide a number by fraction, we use this rule: keep, change flip. When we use that Joshua's equation turns into 8 * 5/1 = 8*5 = 40, same as Melanie's.)</span>

A city police force is made up of 24% females. If there are 72 females on the force, how many males are on the force?
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

228 males

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of males.

This means x + 72 is the total number of people.

So \frac{72}{x+72} is the fraction of females in the force.

Thus, we can form the equation:

\frac{72}{x+72} = 0.24

x+72 = \frac{72}{0.24}

x = \frac{72}{0.24} -72

x = 228

Thus, the answer is 228 males.
