12(1/3) = 4 so women = 4
==>men = 12-4 = 8
if team needs 20% of women then men Will be 80%

Ques:- A positive number when decreased by 2 is equal to 15 times the reciprocal of the number. What is the number ?
Recent Answer : Added by Abhi Chatterjee On 2022-01-08 16:05:35:

Let the number be x.

So x-2 =15/x, or

x^2–2x-15=0, or

(x-5)(x+3)=0

Hence x = 5 or -3.

Check: When x=5, 5–2=3 which is 15/5=3.

When x=-3, -3–2=-5 which is 15/-3=-5.

The number is 5 or -3.
