Question

anonymous · Answer

can any one work out this problem?

anonymous · Answer

m/w = 3/4   
m = 210  
w=?

anonymous · Answer

the total number is X, WHOLE FRACTION IN A PIE DIAGRAM is  3 + 4 =7  , so if 3/7 are men, = 210, it can be written as 3/7 of x = 210, what X?

anonymous · Answer

i need the answer for W?

anonymous · Answer

well, just solve for x, as I have said, then, that will be the total number of   people in the factory. to get the number of women, W, =

M + W =X
210  + W =X

if you find the X value, then you will find w value
