Answer:

No

Explanation:

So first, you need to divide the number of states voting by the number total, so 35/50= 0.7. Then you need to complete the original fraction and turn it into a decimal: 3/4 = 0.75

So 35 states = 0.7 and 3/4 = 0.75, so there are 0.05, or 5% of the states missing to Amend the Constitution.
