1) Write out what you know
Blue: 5/8
Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW THEY CAME UP WITH THE 5/24's PLEASE???

<span>From the problem, you can get this equation:
Jane is 2 years older than Sally
J=z+2
David is 4 times older than Jane.
D=4J

</span>Write two equivalent expressions that represent David’s age in terms of Sally’s age, z, and explain how the two expressions relate to one another.<span>Sally is z years old.
From the 2 equation above, you can get:
</span>D=4J
D=4(z+2)
D=4z+8

D-8=4z
(D-8)/4=z
The two equivalent expression would be D=4z+8 and (D-8)/4=z

The expression that more usefull would be D=4z+8 if you want to determine David age.
