5 'parts' of the total company staff are men, and 8 'parts' are women.
That's 13 'parts' all together, comprising 364 people.
So each 'part' is 364/13 = 28 people.

Men = 5 'parts' = 5 x 28 = <u>140 men</u>

Women = 8 'parts' = 8 x 28 = <u>224 women</u>

<em><u>Check:</u></em>

140/224 = 70/112 = 35/56 =<em> </em><em>5/8</em>

140 + 224 = <em>364</em>

yay !
