Answer: 0.139

From the given table, the total number of females = 252. The number of females that owned cats = 35. Therefore, the relative frequency of women that owned cats is given by -

Number of females that own cats / Number of females

= 35/252 = 0.138888888889 = 0.139

Therefore, the relative frequency of women that owned cats is 0.139.
