Female candidates at the high school rally = 62
Male candidates at the high school rally = 217
Total number of people present at the high school rally
= 62 + 217
= 279
The ratio of the males to the total number of people present
= [tex]\frac{Total Number of People Present}{Male Candidates Present}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{217}{279}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex]
Hence, the ratio of the males to the total number of people present is [tex]\frac{7}{9}[/tex] = 7:9
