16 of the 44 participants in a triathlon are men and the rest are women. What is the ratio of the number of women participating to the number of men participating? Write your answer as a fraction. Use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.
The number of women participating in the triathlon if 44-16 = <<44-16=28>>28.
The ratio of the number of women participating to the number of men participating is 28/16 = <<28/16=7/4>>7/4. Answer: \boxed{7/4}.
