At the stadium,the ratio of women to men is 7:5. There were 500 children in the stadium. If there were 4000 spectators at the stadium, how many men were there?

4,000 - 500 =3,500 total of men and women

7/[5+7] x 3,500 =2,042 number of women!!!

5/[5+7] x 3,500 =1,458 number of men!!!

then there would be 3,500 men and woman, .7 of them are women, so 3500 * .7 = 2500, (approximately, you can't have 0.000000005 a man) so 3500-2500 (2500 is the woman) = 1000, so there are 1000 men
