The ratio of men to women working for a company is 3 to 5 If there are 208 employees total, how many women work for the company?

5 out of (3+5)   are women     5/ 8   x 208 =......

I'm not that good with ratios but I'll give it a shot:

3 men to 5 women:

We can add the variable x:

3x + 5x = 208

8x = 208

x = 26

3 * 26 = 78 men,

5 * 26 = 130 women.

Check for me, I may be wrong.

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 3 to 5 If there are 208 employees total, how many women work for the company?

(208 / 8) * 5 = 130 women
