In A School Election 3/4 Of The Students Vote. There Are 1464 Ballots. Write And Solve An Equation To Find The Number Of Students

A simple way to turn this into an equation is by replacing the words with letters:

1464B = 3/4 S

Then you have to remove the 3/4 from the right side of the equation. You can do this by dividing both sides by 3/4:

1464 / 3/4 = S

Then you have to do the sum:

1464

/ 3

= 0488

488

X 4

= 1952

There are 1952 students.
