Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
4690/x = 5/2
cross multiply
(4690)*(2)=5*x
9380=5x
Divide both sides by 5.
x=1876
there were 1876 votes of "no"
(brainliest please?)
The number of no votes is 1876 votes.
What is the ratio?
"The ratio is a term that is used to compare two or more numbers. It is used to indicate how big or small a quantity is when compared to another".
For the given situation,
Let x be the number of votes.
The ratio of yes votes : no votes = 3x:2x
Total = 5x
Total votes = 4690 votes
⇒ [tex]5x=4690[/tex]
Divide by 5 on both sides,
⇒ [tex]x=938[/tex]
Thus the number of no votes = [tex]2x[/tex]
⇒ [tex]2(938)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1876[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the number of no votes is 1876 votes.
