Well, most people would answer this with 11/15 but it isn't that simple, here is the math!

315/15=21
21x11=231

Your answer is 231 females! Hope this helped!

ok 15/15=all
all=male+female
if male=4/15
15/15=4/15+female
minus 4/15
11/15=femail

11/15 of 315 are female
'of' means multiply

11/15 times 315=3465/15=231

answer is 231 are femaile
