Answer:
(i) 5/12
(ii) 720
(iii) 420
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) The fraction representing all votes is 12/12. If 7/12 were received by the winner, then the loser received 12/12 -7/12 = 5/12 of the total votes.
The person who lost received 5/12 of the total votes.
__
(ii) The winner won by 7/12 -5/12 = 2/12 = 1/6 of all votes. So, the total number of votes is ...
120 votes = 1/6(total votes)
total votes = 6×120 votes = 720 votes
There were 720 registered voters.
__
(iii) The winner received ...
(7/12)(720 votes) = 420 votes . . . received by the winner
