GIVEN
1) Females outnumber males by 3 to 2.
2) There are 1770 people in the city.
SOLUTION
Let the number of males be x and the number of females y. Therefore, the total number of people can be written to be:
If there are 3 females for every 2 males, we have that:
We can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) and solve for y:
Dividing both sides by 5, we have
There are 1062 females in the county.

The smallest length of the tank
Since the tank is cubical, then the volume is:
This gives:
Express as 
Take cube roots of both sides
Rewrite as:
Approximate
The best way to solve this one is with a proportion:
(15 steps) / (5 minutes) = (75 steps) / ('x' minutes)
Cross-multiply the proportion: 15 x = 5 x 75
Divide each side by 15 : x = 5 x 5 = <em>25 minutes</em>.
