Question

Riverside elementary school is holding a school wide election to choose a school color five eights of the votes were for blue,5/9 of the remaining votes were for green,and the remaining 48 votes were for red

Answer 1

five out of eight voted for blue. that is 62 people voted for blue. forty eight people voted for red. so 62 - 48 = 14. so fourteen votes were for green. because they kept saying remaining so that is the only thing that makes sense to me.
