<u>Answer:</u>

333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.

<u>Solution:</u>

We have been given that two-thirds of all voters in Ward 5 plan on choosing Spike Jones for commissioner.  

There are 500 voters in Ward 5.

Since 2/3 of all voters in Ward 5 are voting for Spike Jones the remaining 1/3 will not be voting for him.

To find out how many people in ward 5 are exactly voting for Spike Jones. We need to calculate how much is two thirds of 500 is.

This is done as follows:

\begin{array}{l}{\frac{2}{3} \times 500} \\\\ {=\frac{1000}{3}} \\\\ {=333.334}\end{array}

Since people cannot be denoted in decimal points we have to round it off to a whole number. That’s is 333.

Therefore 333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.

I have a question that says " jada has read 3/5 of a book. She has read 75 pages so far. How many pages are in the whole book?"
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we would multiply by the reciprocal of the portion Jada has read, and multiply that number to 75.

The reciprocal means the the value, but flipped, so \frac{3}{5} will become \frac{5}{3}.

Now we do 75 times \frac{5}{3}/

\frac{75 * 5}{3} \\\\\\\\\frac{375}{3} \\\\\\\\125

So, there are 125 total pages in the book.

Evaluate -1-3-(-9)+(-5)
babunello [35]

To evaluate this expression, we need to remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, and that adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. Using this knowledge, let's begin to simplify the expression below:

-1 - 3 - (-9) + (-5)

Because addition of a negative number is the same as subtraction of a positive number, we can change + (-5) to -5, as shown below:

-1 - 3 - (-9) - 5

Next, because we know that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number, we can change - (-9) to + 9, as shown below:

-1 - 3 + 9 - 5

Now, we can subtract the first two terms and begin to evaluate our expression:

-4 + 9 - 5

Next, we can add the first two numbers of the expression:

5 - 5

Now, we can subtract our last two numbers, which gives us our answer:

0

Therefore, your answer is 0.

Hope this helps!
