In a polling booth, total number of voters is 1575 out of which 0.4 part are male voters. If a candidate gets 0.4 part of female votes, then find how many votes did the candidate get ?
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
We have to find, the value of 4/7 of 560 - 5/8 of 400.4/7 x 560 - 5/8 x 400 = (4 x 80) - (5 x 50) = 320 - 250 = 70Hence, four-seventh of 560 is greater than five-eighth of 400 by 70.
