Question

to amend the US Constitution 3/4 of the 50 states must approve the amendment if 35 States approve an amendment will the Constitution be amended. ( it has to all be fractions)

Answer 1

Answer: the constitution will not be amended

Step-by-step explanation:

It is needed that 3/4 of the 50 states approve the amendment. So we need to calculate how many states are 3/4, for this we multiply 3/4 by 50:

`(3)/(4)(50)`

To make this multiplication, we multiply 3 by 50 and then divide by 4:

`\begin{gathered} (3*50)/(4) \\ \end{gathered}`

which is equal to:

`(150)/(4)`

Making the division we get:

`(150)/(4)=37.5`

Since only 35 states approved the amendment, and 35 is smaller than 37.5. the constitution will not be amended
