Answer 2

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

In total there is 200 people (120+80)

1/4 of that is 50 people, keep this for later.

1/3 of 120 men is 40.

Subtract the men that said yes from the people that said yes. We get 10 women said yes.

If we put 10 over 80 (10/80) we can simplify that by reducing by 10, so 1/8 of the women said yes
