Answer:

There were 2747 yes votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using proportions.

The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 .

This means that for each 5 + 3 = 8 votes, 5 were yes and 3 were no.

If there were 4395 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

For each 8 votes, we have 5 yes. How many yes votes were there in 4395 votes?

5 yes - 8 votes

x yes - 4395 votes

8x = 4395*5

x = 4395*5/8

x = 2747

There were 2747 yes votes.

I need help please help me no links or I will report you

Answer:

Length = 9 inches

Width = 13 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since width is 4 inches more than the length, we can let length be x, and so width would be x + 4

So we can say;

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

44 = 2{ (x) + (x+4) }

44 = 2 (2x + 4)

44 = 4x + 8

44 - 8 = 4x

36 = 4x

36/4 = x

9 = x

Since Length = x, length = 9

and since width = x + 4, width = 9 + 4 = 13

Hope this helps!
