There are three people running to be elected as the town clerk. If the first person gets 1/3 of the votes, and the second person gets 2/15 of the votes what is the total votes for the two people

1 answer

To find the total votes for the first two people, we need to add their vote fractions: 1/3 + 2/15 = 5/15 + 2/15 = 7/15.

Therefore, the total votes for the first two people are 7/15 of the total votes.
