@usmanmani,
These are simple math problems. Think of this as a percentage (parts of 100)

Q: 41.39 per 1,000 women is the same as what?
A: 4.139% 0r .04139

Multiply that percentage of women's population (294,277) times .04139.

The result of that simple math problem will be your answer.

For the rest of the problems, do the same simple math process (turn the rate into a percentage) and multiply times the total for the answers. For any population you're working with, you need to simply or reduce the number into parts of 100, 1,000 or 10,000.
