Answer 1

1464÷34=43.0588235294

Explanation:

1464 ballots divided by the amount of students that has voted which had been 34 students in total. Take the 1464 ballots. And then divide them by the amount of students that has voted.

Answer 2

1,952 students

Explanation:

If
`(3)/(4)` of the students voted and there are 1464 ballots.

Let the number of students =x

Therefore:

`(3)/(4)` of x=1464

Multiply both sides by
`(4)/(3)`

`(3)/(4)` X x=1464

`(4)/(3)` X
`(3)/(4)` X x=1464 X
`(4)/(3)`

x=1952

There are 1,952 students in the school in total.
