A union votes on whether to go on strike. 120 people vote. The ratio of yes no votes is 2:3. a) How many people vote yes? ..................​

Answer 1

48 people

Explanation:

The given ratio is 2:3

The total is 120

Let the common ratio be x

So it can be divided as 2x, 3x

Their sum is 2x+3x=120

5x=120

x= 24

24×2=48

24×3=72

⟹48, 72
