Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer they want is 12/22 or 6/11 students are women although some people are not men or women which technically makes the question impossible to solve.

Answer: 6/11

Work Shown:

22 people total, 10 men, so 22-10 = 12 women are in the class.

12/22 = (2*6)/(2*11) = 6/11 is the fraction of women in the class
