Please read the answer below. Don't hesitate to give a "thumbs up" in case you're satisfied with the answer.

Proportion of female senators who are Democrats?

The 1 extra candidate is Independent and therefore isn't a democrat.

This is is basically number of female democrats/ total female senators

Total female decocrates = 9, total female senators = 14

Proportion of female senators who are democrats = 9/14

Answer is 9/14
