In a certain office 1/3 of the workers
Answer: C) 11/18
Explanation:
Let the total number of workers be x. Then,
Number of women = x/3 and number of men = x – x/3 = 2x/3
Number of women having children = x/18
Number of men having children = x/3
Number of workers having children = (x/18) + (x/3) = 7x/18
Therefore, workers having no children = x – 7x/18 = 11/18 of all workers.
