"ELIZABETH WAS IN CHARGE OF COUNTING THE VOTES FOR CLASS PRESIDENT.CASEY RECIEVED 8/15 OF THE VOTES .HIS OPPONENT JASON RECIEVED THE REST OF THE VOTES.WHAT PARTS OF THE VOTES DID JASON RECIEVE?WHO WON THE ELECTION?"
Casey received 8/15 of the votes and Jason received the rest.
Since the denominator was given as 15 we will use that number to explain this.
Assume that there were 15 votes total or that the votes could be seperated into 15 equal piles. Casey received 8 of those 15 so what was left was 15-8=7. Jason received 7/15 to Casey's 8/15.
Who won? 8/15 is larger than 7/15
