Answer:
The fraction of the course 7/8 is male on the maths course at university.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 7 times as many males as females on the maths course at University. Let's suppose we have 10 females in the course.If we have 10 females, the males should be 7 times; it means with 10 females males should be 70 males.
Now, we have the number of males (M) - 70 and females (F) - 10. We can calculate the fraction of the male (%M) in the course.
%M = M/(M+F)
%M = 70 / (70 +10)
% M = 70/80
%M = 7/8.
Finally, we can conclude that the fraction of the course 7/8 are male on the maths course at university.
