Students voted on who should be student council. Nyemi got 3/5 votes. Luke got 3/10 votes. Natalie got 1/10 votes. If 230 students voted, how many students voted for each candidate?

Answer:

Nyemi = 138 votes ; Luke: 69 ; Natalie: 23

Explanation:

First, we found out 230 students voted.

Nyemi got 3/5 votes

Luke got 3/10 votes

Natalie got 1/10 votes

So, now that we know how many votes and 3 students got and how many students voted, we will find Nyemi's first!

Nyemi's: Multiply

3/5 x 230 = 138

Luke's: Multiply

3/10 x 230 = 69

Natalie's: Multiply

1/10 x 230 = 23

So, that's how much each student voted for the 3 candidates!
