Answer 2

The ratio of men to women is 2:7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total students in class be x

We are given that 2/9 of the class are women.

So, No. of women =$\frac{2}{9}x$

No. of men =$x- \frac{2}{9}x=\frac{7}{9}x$

Ratio of men to women =$\frac{\frac{2}{9}x}{\frac{7}{9}x}$

                                       =$\frac{2}{7}$

Hence the ratio of men to women is 2:7
