1. Write this number as a fraction (Steps)
2. How many students said they would vote for Brianna?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Given the following :
Total number of students = 45
Proportion of those who said yes to the total number of students = 0.62222...
1.) writing 0.622222... as a decimal
0.62222 / 1
Multiply numerator and denominatior by 100000 to get rid of the decimal
62222/100000
= 31111 / 50000
Let number who said yes = y
Then,
y / 45 = 31111/50000
50000y = 1399995
y = 1399995 / 50000
y = 27.999
y = 28
