Given

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 4:7

There are total of 165 employees

Suppose, there is  4x men and 7x women such that the ratio remains constant

[tex]\therefore 4x+7x=165\\\Rightarrow 11x=165\\\Rightarrow x=15[/tex]

[tex]\text{Men= }4\times 15=60\\\text{Women= }7\times 15=105[/tex]
