Answer: The question is incomplete
Step-by-step explanation: The answer to this question cannot be determined correctly since an important detail is missing.
However, let me explain how you would normally go about it by using an example of mine. If for example the ratio of yes votes to no votes was 8 to 5, and the question requires you to calculate how many yes votes were there as indicated in your question, then the first step would be to find the total number of both sides of the ratio. That is add 8 to 5 which gives you 13. This means if there was a total of 13 votes cast, every yes vote stands for 8 out of 13 votes and every no vote stands for 5 out of 13 votes.
To express it mathematically, every yes vote would be 8/13 of the total (12779) and every no vote would be 5/13 of the total (12779).
Therefore to determine how many yes votes there was, is calculated as follows;
Let yes votes be y and no votes be x'
y = (8/13) * 12779
y = 102232/13
y = 7864
<em>Based on my example that the ratio of yes votes to no votes is 8 to 5, </em>
Then the number of yes votes was 7,864.

Step-by-step explanation:
We assume that the question is interested in the probability that a randomly chosen class is a Friday class with a lab experiment (2/15). That is somewhat different from the probability that a lab experiment is conducted on a Friday (2/3).
Based on our assumption, we want to create a simulation that includes a 1/5 chance of the day being a Friday, along with a 2/3 chance that the class has a lab experiment on whatever day it is.
That simulation can consist of choosing 1 of 5 differently-colored marbles, and rolling a 6-sided die with 2/3 of the numbers being designated as representing a lab-experiment day. (The marble must be replaced and the marbles stirred for the next trial.) For our purpose, we can designate the yellow marble as "Friday", and numbers greater than 2 as "lab-experiment".
The simulation of 70 different choices of a random class is shown in the attachment.

<em>Comment on the question</em>
IMO, the use of <em>70 trials</em> is coincidentally the same number as the first <em>70 days</em> of school. The calendar is deterministic, so there will be exactly 14 Fridays in that period. If, in 70 draws, you get 16 yellow marbles, you cannot say, "the probability of a Friday is 16/70." You need to be very careful to properly state the question you're trying to answer.
The answer is A ratio table.
It’s 7 in that’s the only answer that makes sense
Answer:
He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using proportions.
Per hour:
Joel earns $7.25 per hour, 20% of which is deducted for taxes. So without taxes, in each hour, he earns 100%-20% of 80% of this, so 0.8*7.25 = $5.8.
Per day:
He works 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, so 8 hours a day.
For each hour, he earns $5.8.
So in a day, he makes 8*5.8 = $46.4
How many days he must work:
The ticket costs $2400.
He makes $46.4 a day.
So, to buy a ticket, he needs to work:
2400/46.4 = 51.7 days
Rounding up
He must work 52 days to pay for a single ticket.
