School Trip Votes


1. Problem statement: A class of 40 students voted on where to go for a school trip. 3/5 voted for The Science Park and the rest voted for Maths World. Find the number of votes each place received. 2. Calculate votes for The Science Park. The fraction voting for The Science Park is $\frac{3}{5}$. Total students = 40. So, votes for The Science Park = $40 \times \frac{3}{5} = 40 \times 0.6 = 24$ votes. 3. Calculate votes for Maths World. The rest voted for Maths World, which is total votes minus votes for The Science Park. Votes for Maths World = $40 - 24 = 16$ votes. 4. Final answer: - The Science Park received 24 votes. - Maths World received 16 votes.
