Answer:
We cannot determine the exact number of votes for Tim or Selena without additional information. However, we can determine the fraction of the whole class that voted for each candidate based on the given information.
If only one third of the students cast votes, that means that two thirds did not vote. Therefore, the fraction of the whole class that voted for Tim and Selena is each equal to one third of the total number of students.
To calculate these fractions, we can use the following formula:
Fraction of class = Number of students who voted / Total number of students
Let's assume that there are N students in the class. Then, the number of students who voted for Tim is (1/3)N, and the number of students who voted for Selena is also (1/3)N.
So, the fraction of the whole class that voted for Tim is:
(1/3)N / N = 1/3
Similarly, the fraction of the whole class that voted for Selena is also 1/3.
Since we don't know the exact number of votes for each candidate, we cannot determine who received more votes.
