2 of 5 There are 6 times as many females as
males on the maths course at
university. What fraction of the course
are male?
Give your answer in its simplest form.

M + F = total

6F + F = total

7F = total

F = (1/7) total

Explanation:

You can look at this as a ratio also.

The ratio of females to males is 1:6

That means out of every 7 students,

1 is female and 6 are male.  

1 out of 7 is 1/7
