The table is shows the fraction of the votes that each candidate received. If 230 students voted, how many students voted for each candidate

Answer 1

nyemi: 138

natalie: 23

if you wanna find a certain fraction amount of a number, multiply that fraction by your total.

so, to find nyemi's:  230 x 3/5 = 138

so, to find luke's: 230 x 3/10 = 69

so, to find natalie's: 230 x 1/10 = 23

Answer 2

3/5 * 230 = 138 votes for Nyemi

3/10 * 230 = 69 votes for Luke

1/10 * 230 = 23 votes for Natalie

138 + 69 + 23 = 230  Correct!!
