Answer:

⅑

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represents number of males, and f represents number of females taking the maths course.

Given that number of males (m) taking the maths course is 8 times as much as number of females (f), total number of students taking the maths course (T).

Thus we can represent the information above with the following:

m = no. of males

f = no. of females

T = Total

m = 8f

T = m + f

Thus,

Total = 8f + f = 9f

==>The fraction of the course that are females = No. of females (f) ÷ Total no. of students (T)

= f/9f

Fraction of females in simplified form would be ⅑
