In a phone poll, 5/12 of the people said they planned to vote for Harrison in the upcoming election. If 5,040 people participated in the poll, how many people said they planned to vote for candidate Harrison?
First you would divide the total number by 12 so you can get 12 different parts. Once you divide the number by 12 you get 420. You then multiply by 420 by 5 to get 2,100.
