Anews paper article reports the results of an election between candidates the article says that smith received 60% of the votes and that murphy received 1/3 of the votes why is this article not accurate

If you want some help here, I can tell you!

60% is 60%, since the best way to find out is by converting the two numbers into percents.

You need to find out a decimal first for the second number in order to convert it to a percent. To find a decimal out of a fraction, you put the numerator in the house (I forgot what it was called) and then you put the denominator out. You divide, and you find that 1/3 is actually a repeating decimal, 0.33333333 and so on. You round to 0.34, and that's 34% since 0.34 is 34 out of 100, basically. 34% plus 60% is NOT 100%, and 100% is a whole, so that's why it isn't accurate.

The answer is 41.7 because 1.39 times 30 is 41.7
