Question

Kareem received 5/6 of the 180 votes cast for class secretary. How many votes did he receive? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Let's check the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Total votes casted = 180

Total votes received by Kareem = 5/6 of the total votes casted

Now, let's replace with the actual number of votes casted:

Total votes received by Kareem = 5/6 * 180

Total votes received by Kareem = 900/6

Total votes received by Kareem = 150
