the United States Air Force has 19 women for every 81 men enlisted in a squadron has 750 member approximately how many women round your answer to the nearest whole number
we have that
Let
x -----> the number of women
y ----> the number of men
so
x+y=750 -------> equation A
x/y=19/81--------> y/x=81/19
y=(81/19)x ------> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A
x+(81/19)x=750
solve for x
(100/19)x=750
x=(750*19)/100
x=142.5
therefore
