    People using the gym = 24

    ratio of men to women = 2:1

    it means women are 2 times more than men.

    let x be the number of men than:

    2x+x = 24

    3x = 24

    x = 8

    so, the number of men in the gym is 8 and number of women in the gym is 16.

    Let the number of women using the gym be y

    since the number of men using the gym is twice the number of women

    (ratio is 2:1), therefore:

    number of men using the gym is 2y

    The total number of people using the gym is 24. Therefore:

    y + 2y = 24

    3y = 24

    y = 24/3 = 8

    Therefore:

    number of women using the gym = 8 women

    number of men using the gym = 2 x 8 = 16 men
