A class of 40 students voted on where to go for a school trip.

3/5 voted for the Science Park and the rest voted for Maths World.
How many votes did each place get?

1 answer

3/5 of 40 is (3/5) x 40 = 24, so 24 students voted for the Science Park.

The rest of the students (40 - 24 = 16) voted for Maths World.

Therefore, the Science Park got 24 votes and Maths World got 16 votes.
