    So women:men=5:7

    for every 5 units of women, there are 7 units of men so

    there are 140 men and that equals 7 units so

    140=7 units

    solve for 1 unit

    140/7=20

    1 unit=20

    women=5 units

    5 times 20=100

    women=100

    total=women+men=100+140=240

    another way would be to add up the units (5+7=12) and multiply by the amount per 1 unit
