Answer:
335
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be number of students who voted for the falcon.
We have been given that the students at Woodward Elementary voted for a school mascot the Falcon one with 5/8 of the votes.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem.
[tex]\frac{x}{536}=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{536}*536=\frac{5}{8}*536[/tex]
[tex]x=5*67[/tex]
[tex]x=335[/tex]
Therefore, 335 students voted for the falcon.
Using proportions, it is found that 335 students voted for the Falcon.
-------------------------
- In total, 536 students voted for a mascot.
- The proportion that voted for the Falcon is 5/8 of the total number of students.
- To find the number of students that voted for the Falcon, we multiply the proportion of 5/8 by the total of 536, thus:
[tex]\frac{5}{8} \times 536 = \frac{5 \times 536}{8} = 335[/tex]
335 students voted for the Falcon.
