In a recent student government election, the ratio of students who voted for the winner to all the students who voted was 0.64. the number of students who voted was 125. how many votes did the winner get?

80

Step-by-step explanation:

The total was 125

0.64 of them voted for the winner.

The number who voted for the winner = ratio * total

Votes for the winner = 0.64 * 125

Votes for the winner = 80

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
