There are 9 long distance male runners and 5 long distance female runners. This makes a total of 9+5 = 14 long distance runners.

Out of this total of 14 long distance runners, there are 9 males. So the probability as a fraction is 9/14

If you need the answer in decimal form, then use a calculator to get 9/14 = 0.642857 which is approximate.
