Question

The United States Air Force has 19 women for every 81 men in listed. If a squadron has 750 members approximately how many are women.

Answer 1

142.5, rounded to 143 women.

Explanation:

A squadron with 750 members is the common multiple of the sum of 19 and 81.

Therefore, the number of women in a squadron is equal to [750 : (19 + 81)] x 19 = 142.5.
