Answer:

67 students voted for the eagle

Explanation:

The students at Woodward Elementary voted for a school mascot. The falcon won with 5/8 of the votes and the eagle came second with 1/3 of the remaining votes. If 536 students voted for a mascot, how many students voted for the eagle

Total students who voted = 536

Falcon won with 5/8 of the votes

5/8 of 536

=5/8 × 536

= 2,680/8

= 335 votes

Falcons won with 335 votes

Remaining votes = Total votes - falcons votes

= 536 - 335

= 201 votes

There are 201 votes remaining

Eagle came second with 1/3 of the remaining votes

1/3 of the remaining votes

= 1/3 × 201

= 201/3

= 67 votes

67 students voted for the eagle
