Two students, Raymond and Shauna, are trying to get city council members to vote for a new park along the river. 2/6 of the 24 council members say they already support the idea, but that's not enough. At least 13 council members must support the idea before the park is approved. How many more city council members must Raymond and Shauna convince?
8

Respuesta :

Raymond and Shauna must convince at least 5 more city council member. Because if every 2/6 members agree with the idea, then there would be 8 people out 24 that already agree with the idea. So if you have already 8 members then to make 13, you just need 5 (8 + 5=13) more people to 13.
