    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.
