Namely, how many times does 2/3 go into 9?

well

$\bf 9 \div \frac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{9}{\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{9}{1}\quad }{\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{9}{1}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2}\implies \cfrac{27}{2}
\\\\\\
\textit{2 goes \underline{13 times} into 27, with a \underline{remainder of 1}}\implies 13\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

In Weston 1,296 males are married

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find out the number of males

Multiply the total population by 45%

$45\%=45/100=0.45$

$4,320(0.45)=1,944\ males$

step 2

Find out the number of males that are married

Multiply the number of males by 2/3

$\frac{2}{3}(1,944)=1,296\ males\ married$

therefore

In Weston 1,296 males are married
