To amend the U.S. Constitution, 3/4 of the 50 states must approve the amendment. If 35 states approve the amendment will the constitution be amended


Sagot :

No. That’s only 70%. You need 75%

bearing in mind that fraction wise we can represent any WHOLE as 1, 5/5 = 1, or 333/333 = 1, so we can say that the whole of the states or namely 50/50 = 1, so we can say that

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll}amount&fraction\\\cline{1-2}50&1\\35&x\end{array}\implies \cfrac{50}{35}=\cfrac{1}{x}\implies 50x=30\implies x=\cfrac{30}{50}\\\\\\\boxed{x = \cfrac{3}{5}\implies 0.7}\\\\[-0.35em]~\dotfill\\\\\cfrac{3}{4}\implies 0.75~\hspace{10em}\stackrel{\textit{since 0.7 is less than 0.75, \underline{nope}}}{0.7 < 0.75}[/tex]
