The table shows the fraction of votes each candidate received for Student Council President. If 180 students voted, fill in the table to show the number of votes each student received. David 1/5, Liam 3/10, Marta 1/10, Tiffany 2/5.

Answer 1

You have to make them have the same denominator so the answer would be 4/10

Answer 2

David: 36 Votes

Liam: 54 Votes

Marta: 18 Votes

Tiffany: 72 Votes

Explanation:

Step 1: Make every fraction's denominator the same

David: 2/10

Liam: 3/10

Marta: 1/10

Tiffany: 4/10

Step 2. Multiply 180 by each of these fractions

180 x 2/10 = 36

180 x 3/10 = 54

180 x 1/10 = 18

180 x 4/10 = 72

Step 3. Label Them

David: 36 Votes

Liam: 54 Votes

Marta: 18 Votes

Tiffany: 72 Votes

Total Votes: 180 Votes

Hope this helps!
