The United States Air Force has 19 women for every 81 men enlisted. If a squadron has 750 memebers, approximately how many are women?

here are approximately 143 women

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given that for every 19 women, there are 81 men in the United States Air Force therefore we can say the ratio between the men and women is given as 81:19

such  that the fraction to represent men = ratio of men/ total ratio of men and women

81/(19 + 81)= 81/ 100 =0.81

and the fraction to represent women = ratio of women/ total ratio of men and women

19/(19 + 81)= 19/ 100 = 0.19

Step 2-

To calculate the number of men in a 750 squadron, we have that

fraction of men x number of members

=0.81 x 750= 607.5 ≈ 608

To calculate the number of women in a 750 squadron, we have that

fracton of women x number of members

=0.19 x 750= 142.5 ≈ 143

Therefore there are approximately 143 women .
