[66+ 2/3]%  = 2/3

 

So......let N be the total crew........and....

 

(2/3) N  = 8     multiply both sides by 3/2

 

N  = 8 (3/2)  =  12 total in the crew

 

 

cool cool cool

8 : 66 2/3% = x : 100%

 

x = (8 * 100%) / (66 2/3%)

 

x = 12

 

The crew consists of 12 people, 8 men and 4 women.

 

laugh !
