1. The given ratio of men to women is $$4:7$$, which means that for every 4 men, there are 7 women.

2. Any equivalent ratio is obtained by multiplying both parts of the ratio by the same positive integer $$ k $$.

3. For example, if we let $$ k = 2 $$:

$$
   \text{Men: } 4 \times 2 = 8, \quad \text{Women: } 7 \times 2 = 14
   $$

4. Thus, one possible combination of men to women is $$8:14$$.
Another combination of men to women could be 8:14.
