Answer Details
To find the proportion of workers in the iron and steel industry, we need to first determine the actual number of workers in that industry. We can do this by multiplying the total number of workers in the town (25,000) by the percentage of workers in the iron and steel industry (115.2/360 x 100 = 32%). Number of workers in iron and steel industry = 25,000 x 32% = 8,000 The proportion of workers in the iron and steel industry in relation to the total number of workers in the town is therefore: Proportion = Number of workers in iron and steel industry / Total number of workers in town Proportion = 8,000 / 25,000 Proportion = 0.32 Therefore, the answer is 0.32.
