304 workers was my guess

Answer 2

Proportion:

3/4 = 228/x

You get 304 women.

304 + 228 = ?

Answer 3

we're not looking for the amount of feamles. We're looking for the amount of workers from women to men combined 3 : 4
228 : ?
228/3 = 76
76 x 4 = 304

Answer 4

304 is the number of females. Remember, the ratio is men to women, not to workers. So add 304 and 228 to get 532.

Answer 5

Yes, 532 workers.
