    55% and 24%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Firstly, we need an arbitrary number to serve as the number of students.

    Let the total number of students be 120.

    Firstly we need college-educated percentage.

    Men are two-thirds, women are one-third

    Men = 2/3 * 120 = 80

    Women = 1/3 * 120 = 40

    5/8 of men are college educated = 5/8 * 80 = 50

    2/5 of women are college educated = 2/5 * 40 = 16

    Total college educated = 50 + 16 = 66

    % college educated = 66/120 * 100 = 55%

    Percentage of college educated that are women.

    Total college educated = 66

    The % is 16/66 * 100 = 24%
