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???

6 identical toys weigh 1.8 kg how much would 1 toy weigh using grams
kaheart [24]

Solution:

Given that, 6 identical toys weigh 1.8 kg

we know that, 1kilogram = 1000 grams

6 identical toys weigh in grams

1.8 * 1000 =1800

6 identical toys weigh 1800 grams

then calculating the weight of 1 toy by unitary method ,

weight of 1 toy =\frac{1800}{6} = 300 grams.

Hence, 1 toy would weigh 300 grams.

The mother's age is 8 times her son's age. After 6 years, the age of the mother will be 9/2 times her son's age. The present age
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

son = 6 mother = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother = m

son = s

m = 8s

m+6 = 9/2 * (s+6)

so

2(8s + 6) = 9(s +6)

16s + 12 = 9s + 54

16s - 9s = 54 - 12

7s = 42

s = 42/7 = 6 years old

so the mother is 8s = 8*6= 48 years old
