The ratio of men to women = 3:1 Number of committee members = 20 number of men in the committee = \(\frac{3}{4} \times 20 = 15\) Number of women in the committee = \(\frac{1}{4} \times 20 = 5\) New ratio = 3:2, and let the number of women to be added to make the ratio 3:2 be x 3:2 = 15:5+x \(\frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{5 + x }\) 15 + 3x = 30 3x = 30 - 15 = 15 x = \(\frac{15}{3}\) = 5 Therefore, the number of women to be added to make the ratio of men to women 3:2 = 5.
