Question

Eric received 5/6 of the 180 votes cast for class vice-president. How many votes did he receive?

Answer 1

150 votes

Explanation:

Since Eric received 5/6 of the 180 votes cast, we can multiply 5/6 by 180 to determine how many votes he received:

Amount of votes received = 5/6 * 180

Amount of votes received = 900/6

Amount of votes received = 150

Thus, Eric received 150 votes.
