Answer 1

Answer: the number of no votes =3712

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The ratio of yes to no votes was 7 to 4.

Let 7x = Number of resident said yes, 4x = Number of  resident said No

Total votes = 7x +4x=11x

As per given, Total votes =10,208

$11x = 10208\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{10208}{11}\Rightarrow\ x=928$

So, the number of no votes = 4(928)=3712

Hence, the number of no votes =3712
