Answer 1

To find the ratio of the number of female runners to the total number of runners, we first need to determine the number of female runners.

1. Total number of runners: 13
2. Number of male runners: 10
3. Number of female runners: \( 13 - 10 = 3 \)

Now that we know there are 3 female runners, we can express the ratio of female runners to the total number of runners:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of Female Runners}}{\text{Total Number of Runners}} = \frac{3}{13} \]

So, the ratio of the number of female runners to the total number of runners is:

\[ \frac{3}{13} \]
