IN LOCAL TOWNS 4/5 OF THE VOTING AGE POPULATION IS REGISTRED TO VOTE 11/16 OF REGISTRED VOTERS IN ELECTION FOR MAYOR WHAT FRACTION OF THE VOTING AGE POPATION VOTED.
(4/5) * (11/16) = ?
(4/5)*(1 1/16=18/21
I do not know the calculations for this problem please help
(4/5) * (11/16) =
Multiply the numerators together. Then multiply the denominators together.
(4/5) * (11/16) = 44/80 = 11/20

To find the fraction of the voting age population that voted, we need to multiply the fraction of registered voters who participated in the election by the fraction of the voting age population who are registered to vote.
Given:
1. In local towns, 4/5 of the voting age population is registered to vote.
2. Out of the registered voters, 11/16 participated in the election for mayor.
Let's calculate step by step:
Step 1: Calculate the fraction of registered voters who voted in the election
Fraction of registered voters who voted = 11/16
Step 2: Calculate the fraction of the voting age population who are registered to vote
Fraction of voting age population registered to vote = 4/5
Step 3: Multiply the two fractions to find the fraction of the voting age population that voted
Fraction of the voting age population that voted = (11/16) * (4/5) = (11 * 4) / (16 * 5) = 44/80 = 11/20
Therefore, the fraction of the voting age population that voted is 11/20.
