Length of each piece = 3 1/4 = 13/4 m Maximum pieces that can be cut = 30/(13/4) = 9 ∴ Rope left = 30 - 13/4 x 9 = 120 - 117/4 = 3/4 m∴ Required fraction = 3/4/30 = 1/4
Number of male voters = 4/10 of 1575 = 4/10 x 1575 = 630 Number of female voters=1575 - 630 = 945 Now, total votes that candidate got = (6/10) x 630 + (4/10) x 945 = 378 + 378 = 756
