------------
For each 7 males there are 3 females.
756/7 = Females/3
Females = 324
=========================
Or think about it like this:
For each "set" of 7 males, there is a "set" of 3 females.
756/7 = 108 sets of 7
108*3 = 324 females

The problem is presented VERY INACCURATELY in your post.

The correct formulation is THIS:

There are 756 male students at a college. The ratio of male students to female students is 7:3. How many female students are there at the college ?

Try to write your posts correctly.

It is very difficult to decipher posts written inaccurately.

And it is VERY UNPLEASANT work.
