The problem above is asking for the number of women there are than men if two-fifths of the workers are men. There are three steps to find the answer.

Find the total number of workers.

Find the number of women.

Subtract the number of men from the number of women.

Given:

Number of men - ⅖ or 28

Solution:

Step 1: Let x be the number of workers.

⅖ of x = 28

(⅖) ⅖x = 28 (⅖)

*Divide both sides by ⅖.

x = 70

There are 70 workers.

Step 2: Subtract the number of men from the total number.

70 - 28 = 42

There are 42 women.

Step 3: Since you are looking for the number of women there are than men, subtract.

42 - 28 = 14

Final Answer:

There are 14 more women workers than men.
