Answer 2

Answer:

A) 24 women

B) 52 men and women are at the meeting

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Let y = women at the meeting

7:6 = 28:y

7/6 = 28/y

6×38 = 7y

6×28⁴/7¹ = 7y¹/7¹

y= 6×24

y=24

B)

Number of women at the meeting = 24

Number of men at the meeting = 28

Total number of people at the meeting = 24+28

= 52
