The United States Air Force has 19 women for every 81 men enlisted. If a squadron has 250 members how many are men

The total of men in the squadron are 203

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to use the rule of three:

The total of men in a squadron of 100 (81+19) is 81, so how many men for a squadron of 250:

81 : x

100 250

Lets make an X in the divisions:

81 X x

100 250

If you have the two numbers at the ends of the X they are multiplied and divided by the one left alone.

81*250/100

=203
