Answer:

David: 36 Votes

Liam: 54 Votes

Marta: 18 Votes

Tiffany: 72 Votes

Explanation:

Step 1: Make every fraction's denominator the same

David: 2/10

Liam: 3/10

Marta: 1/10

Tiffany: 4/10

Step 2. Multiply 180 by each of these fractions

180 x 2/10 = 36

180 x 3/10 = 54

180 x 1/10 = 18

180 x 4/10 = 72

Step 3. Label Them

David: 36 Votes

Liam: 54 Votes

Marta: 18 Votes

Tiffany: 72 Votes

Total Votes: 180 Votes

Hope this helps!
