Answer:

308 men

Explanation:

Since you know that there are 490 women, and since you know the ratio of men to women : 22 men : 35 women, so we can simply divide 490 by 35, which is 14. Now, we can do 22 x 14 to get the number of men, so we get 308 as the answer.

I hope this helped, if it's incorrect, please contact me :)
