Answer:
Let M represents the Male and F represents the Female.
As per the statement:
There are 6 times as many males as females on the maths course at university.
⇒ M = 6F
Total number of person on the maths course = M + F = 6F+ F = 7F
we have to find the fraction of the course are male;
[tex]\text{Fraction of the course are male} = \frac{\text{Number of males on the maths course}}{\text{Total number of person on the course}}[/tex]
Substitute the given values we have;
[tex]\text{Fraction of the course are male} = \frac{6F}{7F} = \frac{6}{7}[/tex]
therefore, the fraction of the course are male is, [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]
