<u>Answer:</u>
333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
<u>Solution:</u>
We have been given that two-thirds of all voters in Ward 5 plan on choosing Spike Jones for commissioner.
There are 500 voters in Ward 5.
Since 2/3 of all voters in Ward 5 are voting for Spike Jones the remaining 1/3 will not be voting for him.
To find out how many people in ward 5 are exactly voting for Spike Jones. We need to calculate how much is two thirds of 500 is.
This is done as follows:
Since people cannot be denoted in decimal points we have to round it off to a whole number. That’s is 333.
Therefore 333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
Example:
We can see that there is more than one number with the variable x, therefore, we say they're ''like terms'' and because of that they can be summed. We do this with all of the other numbers with similar variables. If no numbers with similar variables are left, like 4a, you don't do anything but write them as they are. You can also see that 8 and 9 can also be summed because neither of them has a variable, therefore they're similar.
In this step, you just do the operation with the numbers and keep the same variable.
since there are not more numbers similar in variables, this operation is done.
