Answer 1

48

Explanation:

4/9 x 108 = number of students who voted for Millie

48 = number of students who voted for Millie

Answer 2

48 students voted for Millie

Explanation:

Based on the information given, you can set up a proportion:

`(4)/(9)`=
`(x)/(108)`

To find the missing variable first cross multiply 108 and 4

108 x 4= 432

Next, divide your product by 9,

432÷9=48

So now you know that:

`(4)/(9)`=
`(48)/(108)`
