Answer:
The total number of voters was 7488
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve this question using the ratio method
∵ The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 4 to 5
∵ There were 4160 no votes
∵ We need to find the total number of votes
∵ The total of the ratio = 4 + 5 = 9
→ By using the ratio method
→ YES : NO : Total
→ 4 : 5 : 9
→ x : 4160 : y
→ By using the cross multiplication
∵ 5 × y = 4160 × 9
∴ 5y = 37440
→ Divide both sides by 5 to find y
∵ =
∴ y = 7488
∵ y represents the total number of voters
∴ The total number of voters was 7488

Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for computing accrued amount A for a principal of P at an interest rate of r(in decimal) compounded n times in a year for t years is given by
Note that r is percentage converted to decimal. So 3% = 3/100 = 0.03
We can rearrange the above equation to:
Taking logs on both sides
This gives
In this particular problem, n = 4, , A= 9600, P = 5600, r =0.03, so r/n = 0.03/4 = 0.0075
1 + r/n = 1+0.0075 = 1.0075
4t = log(9600/5600)/log(1.0075) = log(1.714) / log(1.0075) = 0.234 /0.00325 = 72
t = 72/4 = 18 years
Answer:
20/81
Step-by-step explanation:
Without parentheses, it is hard to tell what you are dividing. We assume you want ...
(4/9)/(9/5)
Then ...
_____
As written (without parentheses), your expression is evaluated left to right, so evaluates to ...
4/(9·9·5) = 4/405
