Answer:

5/9 In fraction form. In decimal form 0.51 and in percentage form %51

Explanation:

To find the ratio of the number of female runners to the total number of runners, we can divide the number of female runners by the total number of runners and express the result as a fraction. There are 25 female runners, and there are a total of 24 men + 25 women = 49 runners. Therefore, the ratio of the number of female runners to the total number of runners is 25/49. This fraction can be reduced to 5/9.
