26,400/12=2,200

2,200x8=17,600


Answer:

17600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Ratio of men to women = 12:8

No. of men present at the match = 26400

To find: No. of women at the match

Let us assume that the no. of women = w

No. of men at the match  = m

Thus,

[tex]\frac{m}{w} = \frac{12}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{26400}{w} = \frac{12}{8}[/tex]

[tex]w = \frac{26400\times 8}{12}[/tex]

[tex]w = 17600[/tex]

Thus, 17600 women were present at the match.
