Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in the  town of Clover, 3 out of 5 citizens who are eligible to bit did so in the fall election.

A) No of citizens =400

Assume the same proportion as given holds good here

the number of citizens that voted in the fall election=$\frac{3}{5} (400) \\= 240$
