In election to choose a student representative it was found that 2/15 (fraction ) of the students voted for omar, 3/5 voted for scott and the remainder voted for lindsey. if 68 students voted for omar how many students voted in the election

The number of students voted in the election = 510 students

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

2/15 of the students voted for Omar,

3/5 voted for scott, we get 3/5 = 9/15

and the remainder voted for lindsey.

68 students voted for Omar

To find the total students

68 students voted for Omar and 2/15 of the students voted for Omar,

Let x be the total students,

2x/15 = 68

x = 510

Total students = 510

i believe the correct answer is b.
