Let’s give total students a number. Let’s say there are 800 total students

Men = x

Women = 7x. ( 7 times more)

Together there are 8x students.( 7x + x)

We have 8 x = 800

Divide both sides by 8

X = 100

100 men

700 women

Now find the fraction which is number of women / total students = 700/800 = 7/8

7/8 of the students are women.
