Correct Answer: $\frac{7}{4}$

Explanation:

Let, total students = x

Given % as many females as males in the class

Let, Male students = 4x

And female students = 3x

Total students = (4x + 3x) = 7x

Male students speak English = 4x + 2 = 2.:

Female students speak English = 3x of $\frac{2}{3}$ = 2x

Total speaks English in class = (2x + 2x) = 4x

So, Fraction = $\frac{4x}{7x}$ = $\frac{7}{4}$
