Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

Men:Woman = 3:2
54 women = Total woman in a company

<u>3:2 can also be written as 3x:2x.</u>

=> Men:54 = 3x:2x
=> 54 = 2x
=> x = 27
=> Men = 3x
=> Men = 3(27) = 81
=> Total employees: 81 + 54
=> Total employees: 135

There are 135 employees in total.

3 to 5

3x+5x=176

8x=176

x=176/8

x=22

3*22= 66 men

5*22= 110 women

Answer:

x = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

The third side of the largest of the inner triangles:

= $\sqrt{(7\sqrt{(33)^{2} }- (33)^{2}$

= $\sqrt{528} =\sqrt{(16)(33)} =4\sqrt{33}$

The side that continues next to 33: x -33

Applying similarity property on right triangles:

$\frac{33}{4\sqrt{33} } =\frac{4\sqrt{33} }{x-33}$

$(33)(x-33)=(4\sqrt{33} )^{2}$

$33x-1089=528$

$33x=528+1089$

$x=\frac{528+1089}{33} =49$

Hope this helps
