That means 1/(1+15)=1/16 of the male students

are 4. Thus

The number of female students  4/(1/16)-4=60.

Having a ratio of 1:15, when there are 4 males, then there are 60 females.

Male ______Female

1___________15

4___________60

M:F::1:15::4:f

Hence

4/1 = f/15

f = (4/1)(15) = 60/1 = 60

There are 60 female students.

Well DUH......4 x 15 = 60.

Males 1*4 = 4 and females 15*4 = 60

Ratio of male to female students = 1 : 15 = 4 : x

1 * x = 15 * 4

x = 60

Number of female students = 60

It would be 4*15 = 60 One hell of a herd of poontang
