Los Angeles has 6 million people living in it. If half the population is women and 1/3 of the women work in retail, how many women work in retail in Los Angeles?
There are 3 million women in Los Angeles because 6,000,000 / 2 = <<6000000/2=3000000>>3,000,000
1,000,000 women work in retail because 3,000,000 x (1/3) = <<3000000*(1/3)=1000000>>1,000,000
#### 1,000,000
