.64 * 45 = 28.8
.36 * 45 = 16.2

obviously the numbers are not exact, but if you round off the numbers, you get 29 women and 16 men.

we can test this out to see if it's accurate.

let's assume there were 28 women and 17 men.

the percentages would be 62% women and 38% men rounded off to the nearest integer.

now let's assume there were 29 women and 16 men.

the percentages would be 64% women and 36% men rounded off to the nearest integer.

looks like 29 women and 16 men is the correct answer.
