4/15 of the 315 members of a book club are male. How many female members are there in the club?

Solution:

4/15 of the 315 members of a club are male.

Female members of a book club = 1 - 4/15 = 11/15

We multiply a fraction by a whole number here.

So the female members there in the club = 11/15 × 315 = 231

Therefore, there are 231 female members in the club.
