The ratio of men to women working for a company is 3 to 5. If there are 120 women working for the company, what is the total number of employees?

Sagot :

Answer: 192 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a ratio.

Let x be the number of men working in the company.

[tex]\frac{3 men}{5 women} = \frac{xmen}{120 women}[/tex]

We can cross umltiply.

360 = 5x

x = 72 men.

Therefore, the total number of employees = 120 women + 72 men

= 192 people.

5x

5(40)

200 men

3x + 5x = ?

3(40) + 5(40) = ?

120 + 200 = ?

320 = 320
