Question

Isabel received 4/7 of the 210 votes for cast for class treasurer. How many votes did she receive? Write your answer in simplest form

Answer 1

120 votes

Explanation:

So one way to solve this is by creating an equation to solve for x.

So we are given 4/7, that will be one side of the equation.

And we are trying to figure out how many votes out of the 210 she received, so on the other side of the equation we will have x/210, since we are solving for x.

So 4/7 = x/210

We want to get x alone, so we can multiply 4/7 by 210, which equals 120.

So x equals 120!
