In order to find this out, you could convert all the numbers to have the same common denominator. If you made the denominator 18, then
8/9 = 16/18
1/2 = 9/18
1 = 18/18
0 = 0/18.

This allows a clear comparison which shows that 8/9 is closest to 1 out of those options as it is only 2/18 (or 1/9) different. Therefore, the answer is B.

There are 250 votes tallied in a school election with 3 candidate:A, Candidate B, and Candidate C. If 150 of the votes are for c

The answer is 75 and here's why.

Let's figure out the amount of remaining votes to prove this.

250 total votes - 150 votes for candidate a = 100 votes.

minus ↑ sign

Candidate B received 25% of the votes, so let's find 25% of 100

100 * 0.25 = 25 votes

Candidate B only got 25 votes (that's kinda sad, poor guy)

100 - 25 votes = the # of votes candidate C got

Candidate C got 75 votes!
