Respuesta :

Answer: The number of yes votes = 1918.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The ratio of yes to no votes = 2:3

Then the ratio of yes to total votes = [tex]\dfrac{2}{2+3}=\dfrac25[/tex]

Total votes = 4795

Number of yes votes  =  (ratio of yes to total votes) x (Total votes )

= [tex]\dfrac{2}{5}\times4795=1918[/tex]

Hence, the number of yes votes = 1918.
