1. Given,

   Four men for three women.

   Five children for three men.

   To find,

   Number of women if the island has 1000 children.

   Solution,

   We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

   Here, we have to apply normal arithmetic method.

   5 children for = 3 men

   1 child for = 3/5 men

   1000 children for = (3×1000)/5 = 600 men

   And,

   4 men for = 3 women

   1 man for = 3/4 women

   600 men for = (3×600)/4 = 450 women

   Hence, there are 450 women.
