Final answer:

Goran received (5/8) of 72 votes for president, which is calculated by multiplying (5/8) by 72, yielding 45 votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked how many votes Goran received if he got (5/8) of the 72 votes cast for president. To find the answer, we need to multiply the total number of votes by the fraction that Goran received.

Step 1: Convert the fraction (5/8) to a decimal or directly multiply it with the total votes.

Step 2: Perform the multiplication: (5/8) × 72.

Step 3: Divide 72 into 8 equal parts: 72 ÷ 8 = 9.

Step 4: Multiply this result by 5 to get Goran's votes: 9 × 5 = 45.

Therefore, Goran received 45 votes.
