A board containing directors from two different companies is going to elect the president and vice-president. Company A has 15 people on the board and Company B has 27 people on the board. Company A says that their votes should count as 1.8 each, rather than as 1. Does this make it fair? If not, what should they do?
A) There is not enough information.
B) Yes, then company A has 27 votes as well.
C) No, each person's votes should count as 1.
D) No, now company A has more votes than company B. Company B's votes should count as 1.8 votes.

Respuesta :

The ration of voters is 27 from company B /15 from company A = 1.8.

That means that if each vote of company A counts 1.8, they will have in total 1.8 * 15 = 27 votes, which is the same number of votes that company B has.

To you can say, that yes, both companies have the same number of votes.
