    The fraction of females on the maths course at university is 3/4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Males = x

    Females = 3x

    Males + Females = x + 3x = 4x

    The fraction of the course that are females

    Females fraction = Females/Males + Females

    Females fraction = 3x/4x = 3/4

    which means that for every 4 people 3 are females and 1 male
