Hello guest!

 

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 8 to 5 . If there are 312 employees total, how many men work for the company?

 

x             men

312 - x    women

 

x / (312 - x) = 8 / 5

5x = 8 * 312 - 8x

13x = 2496

 

x = 192 men

312 - 192 = 120 women

 

It work 192 Men
and 120 women
in the company.
