in a municipal election 1/5 of the population of a town are voters, 2/5 are these voters are women. if the total population of town is 250500, find the number of women voters.
250500 * 1/5 * 2/5 = ?
20040
To find the number of women voters in a municipal election, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the total number of voters in the town. Given that 1/5 of the population are voters, you can calculate this by multiplying the total population of the town by 1/5:
Number of voters = Total population × 1/5
In this case, the total population is 250,500, so the calculation would be:
Number of voters = 250,500 × 1/5 = 50,100
Step 2: Calculate the number of women voters. Given that 2/5 of the voters are women, you can multiply the total number of voters by 2/5:
Number of women voters = Number of voters × 2/5
Substituting the value we found in step 1:
Number of women voters = 50,100 × 2/5 = 20,040
Therefore, the number of women voters in the town is 20,040.
