You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, determine how many total delegates there are at the workshop. Call this "T".
T=+%28female_delegates%29%2B%28male_delegates%29
T=216%2B738
T=954
Now, to figure out the fraction of female delegates that are at the seminar, divide the given number of female delegates by the total number of delegates:
216%2F954
You can reduce the fraction to be by dividing numerator and denominator by 18:
highlight%2812%2F53%29
