Question

There are 6 times as many females as males on the maths course at university. What fraction of the course are female? Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Fraction of females enrolled in the course = $\frac{6}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that

Total Number of males = x

Total Number of females = 6x

Total Number of Students = 6x + x = 7x

Now, we have to find the what fraction of the course females candidates constitute.

Female Fraction = Total Females : Total Students

Female Fraction = 6x : 7x

Female Fraction = 6 : 7

Female Fraction = $\frac{6}{7}$

So Total number of females enrolled in the course constitute the fraction $\frac{6}{7}$
