Let

x ----> number of men

y ----> number of women

we have that

x/y=4/7 ------> x=(4/7)y -----> equation 1

x+y=209 -----> equation 2

Solve the system of equations

Substitute equation 1 in equation 2

(4/7)y+y=209

solve for y

(11/7)y=209

y=209*7/11

y=133

therefore

The answer is 133 women
