How do you calculate relative frequency?

Relative frequency is the number of times an event occurs divided by the total number of trials conducted.
So for example, suppose you toss a coin 15 times, and it lands on heads 8 times and tails 7 times. What is the relative frequency it lands on heads? (8/15) - and what is the relative frequency it lands on tails? (7/15)
