150 people in a room. There were 4 times more women than men in the room. How many women were in the room?
4m + m = 150
5 m = 150
m = 30 men
150 people in a room. There were 4 times more women that men. How many women and how many men were in the room?
There are 30 men. How many women are there?
To determine the number of women in the room, we can proceed as follows:
Let's assume the number of men in the room is represented by 'x'. Since there are 4 times more women than men, the number of women can be calculated as 4x.
Given that there are 150 people in total, we can express the total number of people as the sum of the number of men and women (x + 4x = 150). Simplifying this equation, we have 5x = 150.
To find the value of 'x' (the number of men), we divide both sides of the equation by 5: x = 150 / 5 = 30.
Now, we can determine the number of women by substituting the value of 'x' back into the equation: 4x = 4 * 30 = 120.
Therefore, there are 120 women in the room.
