To answer the question we need to know if 35 out of 50 states is equal or greater than 3/4 if that is the case, the Constitution will be ammended, and that is represented like this: 35/50 >= 3/4 that inequality is saying that 35 states out of 50 is equal or greater than 3/4, lets simplify and modify the fractions to compare easily: <span>35/50 >= 3/4 </span>7/10 <span>>= 3/4 </span>now we need to find the least common multiplier of 10 and 4 to take the fractions to a common denominator and compare easy. Lets multiply numerator and denominator for a correct number to get the fractions to denominator common 20, the lcm: 7/10 <span>>= 3/4 </span>(2/2)(7/10) >= (5/5)(3/4) 2*7/2*10 >= 5*3/5*4 14/20 >= 15/20 we can see that the inequality does not hold, so, <span>35/50 >= 3/4 </span>does not hold either, therefore the Constitution cannot be ammended
No it can not be amended. 3/4 of 50 equals 37.5. While yes, you can not count a half of a person, 35 doesn't even equal 37. So you're still stuck with the answer of no.
