Answer» According to the given information, Number of total workers in the farm = 320 Ratio of MEN and women = 9 : 11 Number of men workers = total number of workers $(\times \;\frac{{9}}{{9 + 11}})$ Number of men workers $(= \;320\; \times \frac{{9}}{{9 + 11}}{\rm{\;}} = {\rm{\;}}144)$ Number of female workers = 320 – 144 = 176 According to the given information, 8 female workers leave the work, the remaining number of female workers = 176 – 8 = 168 New ratio of male to female workers = 144 : 168 = 6 : 7 Hence new ratio is 6 : 7 |
