let m represent Men
let w represent Women
m:w = 3:4
m/w = 3/4
4m /3 = w
men = 228
w = 4(228)/3 = 4 * 76 = 304
women = 304
total = men+ women = 228+304 = 532
~~~

given:
No. of men/ no. of women =3/4
=> 228/ no. of women =3/4
No. of women = (228 * 4) / 3
= 304
Total = no. of women + no. of men
= 228 + 304
Total =502

set up a proportion men to women
3/4 = 228/(# of women) now cross multiply
4x228 = 3 x ((# of women) divide both side by 3
and ((# of women) is 304

let men=3x
women=4x
total= 7x
now of men =228
3x=228
x=76
therefor total = 7x=7*76=532

divide by 3 and multiply by 4 to find the number of women
228men * (4women / 3men) = 76 *4 = 304women
304women + 228men = 532 total people.
and 9 months later, there'll be a heck of alot more.
