Question

The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 7. If there were 10,092 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

Answer 1

4,205

Explanation:

5 + 7 = 12

10,092 ÷ 12 = 841

multiplier for the ratio is therefore 841.

5:7 is yes:no

since you want the number of yes votes, u take the 5 and multiply it by the multiplier found before.

5 × 841 = 4,205 yes votes.
