The upper left quadrant is I (1), the upper right is II (2), lower left is III (3), and lower right is IV (4).
Answer:
15 people voted yes and 3 people voted no.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Ratio of yes to no = 5 : 1
Total number of board members who voted = 18
Let,
x be the number of times.
5x+x = 18
6x = 18
Dividing both sides by 6
People who voted yes = 5(3) = 15
People who voted no = 3
Hence,
15 people voted yes and 3 people voted no.
In order to determine whether two expressions are equivalent to one another, they are equated using an equals to sign (=) and then simplified. Upon simplification, the expressions should yield a logical and true statement. For example, a simplified expression may present
2 = 2
If such a case is present, then we know that the expressions are indeed equal. However, if the two sides are not equal, lets say
2 = 3
Then the expressions are not equal.
By verifying expressions, we are usually able to cross check our solutions to problems and also determine whether the answer(s) obtained makes sense.
