Answer:
8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of miles on the math course
There are 8 times as many males as females
Number of females = 8x
Total students of the course = number of males + number of females
= x + 8x
= 9x
Total students of the course = 9x
What fraction of the course are female?
Fraction of the course that are females = number of females / Total students of the course
= 8x / 9x
= 8/9
Fraction of the course that are females = 8/9
