Question

There are about 217,000 registered voters in precint A. This is 3 4/9 the number of voters registered in percint B. How many voters are registered in percint B?

Answer 1

217,000 * 3.44=746,480 in B

Answer 2

B=63,000 because A is a little over 3 times the registered voters in B.

Here is how I calculated it:

(3 4/9)(B)=217,000
(31/9)(B)=217,000
B=(217,000)(9/31)
B=63,000 registered voters
