Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be number of females in the course

Number of males= 5x

total number of students= 5x+x

                                         = 6x

Fraction of male students= number of male students/total number of students

                                         = 5x/6x

                                         = 5/6

Answer:

5/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that M represents the Male and F represents the Female.

As per the statement:

There are 5 times as many males as females on the maths course at university.

Therefore M = 5F

Total number of person on the maths course = M + F = 5F+ F = 6F

Find the fraction of the course are male;

fraction of the course are male = Number of Males on the math course ÷ Total number of person on the course.

Substitute the given values we have;

fraction of the course are male = 5F/6F = 5/6

Hence, the fraction of the course are male is 5/6.
