Answer:

2067 voters

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that three out of five voters support a candidate.

This means 3/5 votes support a candidate

Let the total number rod candidates be represented as x

If 1,240 voters support the candidate,

how many voters participated in the election in all?

Hence,

3/5 of x = 1240 voters.

3/5 × x = 1240

3x /5 = 1240

Cross Multiply

3x = 1240 × 5

x = 1240 × 5/3

x = 2066.6666667 voters

Approximately to the nearest whole number:

2067 voters

Ulleksa [173]
The answer 
<span>a rational number that is between 5.2 and 5.5
first, </span><span>a rational number  is a decimal number that the number after the dot can be ended. for example
1/2 = 0.5 is rational, 2 is rational because 2 = 2. 0, 

so a rational number </span>between 5.2 and 5.5 can be 525 /100
because this rational number can be written as 525 /100 = 5.25
and 5.2 less than 5.25 less than 5.5

an irrational number  is a decimal number that the number after the dot cannot be ended. for example  1/3 = 0.3333333333......

so so an irrational number between 5.2 and 5.5 can be √30
because √30 can be written as √30 = 5,477225575051661134569........

and 5.2 less than 5.47 less than 5.5

shannon said that a triangle with exactly 2 congruent sides and an obtuse angle is an equilateral obtuse triangle. describe her
kolezko [41]
Equilateral means that the 3 sides are equal length. For this to happen, the triangle needs to also have 3 equal angles, but it is mentionned that it has an obtus angle, therefore, not all angles are the same, meaning the 3 sides also aren't equivalent.

the triangle isn't equilateral
