=401

Answer 2

401 are the required votes

Therefore, option C is correct.

Explanation:

We have been given that there are 535 members in a class

And 3/4 of the members have voted to take a field trip that means

3/4 out of total will be the members the total votes for the field trip.

`(3)/(4)\cdot 535`

On simplification we will get

The required votes which will be
`401.25`

After rounding off it will be 401 votes.

Therefore, option C is correct.
