Answer:

$\frac{7}{10}$ of voting age population voted

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out that fraction we just have to mulitply the fraction of the people that were registered by the fractions of the people that were registered and voted. And so we get...

$(\frac{4}{5})(\frac{7}{8}) = \frac{(4)(7)}{(5)(8)} = \frac{28}{40} = \frac{7}{10}$
