Jacob received 685 votes in the school election. If he received 125 more than 2/3 of the total
number of votes, how many students voted in
the election?

840

Step-by-step explanation:

He gets 685 votes. This is 125 more than 2/3 of the total number of votes. So 2/3 must be 125 less than 685.

2/3=560

So ÷2 to find 1/3, because 2/3 ÷2 = 1/3.

1/3=280

So then you x3 because 1/3x3=3/3, or 1 whole.

1 whole=840

840=total number of votes

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)
