There were 48 females and 60 males present at the high school pep rally. Find the ratio of males to the total number of people present. Express as a simplified ratio.
$5: 4$
9:5
$4: 5$

Step 1 ：First, we need to find the total number of people present at the high school pep rally. This is the sum of the number of females and males. So, \(\text{Total number of people} = \text{Number of females} + \text{Number of males} = 48 + 60 = 108\).

Step 2 ：Next, we need to find the ratio of males to the total number of people present. This is the number of males divided by the total number of people. So, \(\text{Ratio of males to total} = \frac{\text{Number of males}}{\text{Total number of people}} = \frac{60}{108}\).

Step 3 ：To simplify this ratio, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 60 and 108 is 12. So, \(\text{Simplified ratio} = \frac{60 ÷ 12}{108 ÷ 12} = \frac{5}{9}\).

Step 4 ：So, the ratio of males to the total number of people present at the high school pep rally is \(\boxed{5:9}\).
