120 women work for the company
Step-by-step explanation:
When the ratios are given, we find the sum of ratios first. To find the quantity against a ratio, that quantity's ratio is divided by sum of ratios and then multiplied by the total number
Given
The ratio of men to women
8:5
Sum of ratios = 8+5 = 13
Total employees = 312
So,
[tex]Number\ of\ women\ that\ work\ for\ the\ company= \frac{Ratio\ of\ Women}{Sum\ of\ ratios} * Total\ Number\ of\ Employees\\\\=\frac{5}{13}*312\\=5*24\\=120[/tex]
