2.
The ratio of men to women in a house is 2:3. After 3 men leave the house, the ratio of men to women becomes 1 to 2. How many women are still in the house?

-
1. 13.5/7
2. 18 women

-
3b:2c
3(6):2c
18:2c

18/2c=2/3
54=4c
54/4=c
13.5=c

c/a is 13.5/7 which is 135/70 which is 27/14.

Answer: 27/14
______________________________________…

Let w = # of women
Let m = # of men

m/w=2/3
3m=2w
m=2w/3

(3m-3)/(2w)=1/2
2(3m-3)=1(2w)
6m-6=2w
6(2w/3)-6=2w
(12w/3)-6=2w
4w-6=2w
-6=2w-4w
-6=-2w
-6/-2=w
3=w

Answer: 3 women
