The senate passed a bill by an 8 to 1 ratio. if 90 senators voted in all, how many voted for the bill?

80

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio 8 to 1 means that out of 9 senators 8 voted yes and 1 voted no.

we can represent this informations like this

number of senators          senators who votes for the bill

         9                          ⇒                 8

and we need to know how many voted for the bill if the total number of senators is 90:

number of senators          senators who votes for the bill

         9                          ⇒                 8

         90                         ⇒                 x

where x is the number we are looking for, which we found by multiplying the cross quantities in the table and then dividing by the remaining amount:

x=90*8/9

x=720/9

x=80

80 senators voted for the bill

answer: 1, 3 and 5 are correct
