Let's start with the blue states. Out of 50 states, 28 of them were blue.
Therefore, the fraction would be 28/50. Let's reduce it.
28/50=14/25 --> these are the lowest terms for this fraction
Use a calculator to find the decimal solution --> 14/25= .56
Now, let's do the red states. Out of the 50 states, 22 of them were blue.
22/50=11/25 --> lowest terms
Use a calculator --> 11/25= .43
Answer:
x = 2 1/6 (13/6)
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve the proportion you must first find the LCF or least common factor
that is 6
so turn 8/3 into 16/6 by multiplying it by 2/2
x + 3/6 = 16/6
then you subtract 3/6 from both sides
x = 13/6
x is 2 1/6
X 25*24*23*22*21*20*19
which gives you
2,422,728,000
