Designate the number of women as w. Then 198/w = 3/4, or 198 = 3w/4, or w = 4 X(198/3) = 264.
The ratio 3 to 4 can be writtem 3/4 or .75. Divide the total of men by the ratio to find how many women there are, then add the two numbers to find the total of workers: 222 /.75 = 296 women. 222 + 296 = 518 workers.
