To find out how many students voted, you just add the 2 numbers up and you'll get 98. So 98 students voted.
1/2 + 3/x = 3/4
3/x = 3/4 - 1/2
3/x = 3/4 - 2/4
3/x = 1/4....this is a proportion, so we cross multiply
(1)(x) = (3)(4)
x = 12
check..
1/2 + 3/12 = 3/4
6/12 + 3/12 = 3/4
9/12 = 3/4
3/4 = 3/4 (correct)
so x = 12
I think it's 1.0650 but I'm not sure.
<span>I think you know by now that I strongly encourage everyone to shoot a proper round and whatever the score is, to submit it to our Records Officer, Giles Conn. Think of it as an annual competition (a) to wear him out, and (b) to see if we can altogether, beat last year's tally. Also, for the outdoor season rounds, you can have a go at achieving the St Wilfred trophy. I've won it 3 years running (last year jointly with Terry Skinner), but they wouldn't let me keep it this time, sadly.</span>
