Answer:

2511 yes votes

Explanation:

We know

The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 3 to 4.

3 + 4 = 7 votes

So, for every 7 votes, there are 3 yes votes and 4 no votes.

If there were 5859 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

We take

(5859 ÷ 7) x 3 = 2511 yes votes

So, there are 2511 yes votes.
