Answer:

Number of women in Cartown is 26667.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total population of Cartown is = x

It is given in the question that two-thirds of the population in Cartown are women.

So the number women in Cartown = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\times x[/tex]

And the total population (x) = 40000

Therefore, number of women = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\times 40000[/tex]

= 26666.67

≈ 26667

Therefore, number of women in Cartown are 26667.
