Question

8

Answer 1

Answer:

15 people voted yes and 3 people voted no.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Ratio of yes to no = 5 : 1

Total number of board members who voted = 18

Let,

x be the number of times.

5x+x = 18

6x = 18

Dividing both sides by 6

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{18}{6}\\x=3$

People who voted yes = 5(3) = 15

People who voted no = 3

Hence,

15 people voted yes and 3 people voted no.
