Question 605741
We know that the ratio Men: Women is 6:5.
This means that for every 6 parts men there are 5 parts women (or for every 6 men there are 5 women).   
Using this information we know there are {{{6+5=11}}} parts in total.

Now 
{{{253/11=23}}}
So each part is 23 units.   
If there are 5 parts women then all together there are 
{{{23*5=115}}} 
women.   


Hopefully this helps:)
