Question

In a recent school election, 208 of the 325 freshmen voted in their class election. Write the fraction of freshmen who voted. A) 208/325 B) 325/208 C) 13/16 D) 8/13

Answer 1

The fraction of freshmen who voted is 208/325.

Option (A) is true.

Explanation:

To find the fraction of freshmen who voted, we need to express the number of freshmen who voted (208) as a fraction of the total number of freshmen (325).

In this case, the number of freshmen who voted is 208, and the total number of freshmen is 325.

To represent the fraction of freshmen who voted, we can write it as a ratio of the number of freshmen who voted to the total number of freshmen:

Fraction of freshmen who voted = Number of freshmen who voted / Total number of freshmen

Plugging in the values, we have:

Fraction of freshmen who voted = 208 / 325

This fraction represents the proportion of freshmen who voted out of the total number of freshmen.

In this case, it shows that approximately 64% of the freshmen voted in the election.

Therefore,

Option (A) is true.
