Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] didn't vote

Step-by-step explanation:

3/10 voted for fighting tians

1/2 voted for nifty knights

In total, what fraction voted?? We take common denominator and sum the two fractions. Shown below:

[tex]\frac{3}{10}+\frac{1}{2}\\=\frac{3}{10}+\frac{5}{10}\\=\frac{8}{10}[/tex]

The rest DIDN'T VOTE. To find the fraction that didn't vote, we need to subtract 8/10 from 1 (whole). Shown below:

[tex]1-\frac{8}{10}\\=\frac{10}{10}-\frac{8}{10}\\\frac{2}{10}\\=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
