Answer 2

Answer:

Number of women in Cartown is 26667.

Let the total population of Cartown is = x

It is given in the question that two-thirds of the population in Cartown are women.

So the number women in Cartown = $\frac{2}{3}\times x$

And the total population (x) = 40000

Therefore, number of women = $\frac{2}{3}\times 40000$

= $\frac{80000}{3}$

= 26666.67
