Answer:
333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
Solution:
We have been given that two-thirds of all voters in Ward 5 plan on choosing Spike Jones for commissioner.
There are 500 voters in Ward 5.
Since 2/3 of all voters in Ward 5 are voting for Spike Jones the remaining 1/3 will not be voting for him.
To find out how many people in ward 5 are exactly voting for Spike Jones. We need to calculate how much is two thirds of 500 is.
This is done as follows:
[tex]\begin{array}{l}{\frac{2}{3} \times 500} \\\\ {=\frac{1000}{3}} \\\\ {=333.334}\end{array}[/tex]
Since people cannot be denoted in decimal points we have to round it off to a whole number. That’s is 333.
Therefore 333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
