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.
