Answer:

36 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of women to men working at a grocery store is 4 to 5.

The ratio =

Women : Men

4 : 5

The sum of the proportion is 4 + 5 = 9

There are 16 women working at the store .

Let us represent the total number of people working at a grocery store as x

Hence:

4/9 of x = 16 women

4/9 × x = 16

4x/9 = 16

Cross Multiply

4x = 16 × 9

x = 16 × 9/4

x = 36 people

The total number of people working in the grocery store is 36 people

mezya [45]
A tilted or slanted cylinder has the same volume as its equivalent right cylinder, provided that
(a) the two bases of the tilted cylinder are parallel,
(b)  the base areas of the tilted and right cylinders are equal,
(c) the vertical height of the right and tilted cylinders are equal.

This fact can be verified by slicing the tilted cylinder into thin, flat washers, as in integral calculus.

Because all 3 conditions are satisfied, the volume of the tilted cylinder is 450 cm³.
