There are 3 times as many males as females on the maths course at university. What fraction of the course are female? Give your answer in its simplest form.

1/4 of the course is female.


Step-by-step explanation:


Let's call x the number of females on the course ⇒ The number of males would be 3x


The total number of students would be x + 3x = 4x.


Based on this, x (the number of females) would be 1/4 of the total students (4x) on the cours
