Half of all the people in Nantucket will attend a planned meeting for a bowl game. There are 300 people in Nantucket, and the number of males going to the meeting is twice the number of females. How many females are going to the meeting?
If half of the people in Nantucket are going to the planned meeting, then there are 1/2*300 = <<300*1/2=150>>150 people going to the meeting.
If the number of males going to the meeting is twice the number of females, we'll assume the number of females is x and the number of males is 2x.
We know that x+2x=150
Adding like terms produces 3x=150
After dividing both sides by 3, we have x = 150/3 = <<150/3=50>>50
The number of females attending the meeting is x = <<50=50>>50
