When 2/9 of the votes on a certain resolution have been counted, 3/4 of those counted are in favor of the resolution. What fraction e of the remaining votes must be against the resolution so that the total count will result in a vote of 2 to 1 against the resolution?
Choose the correct option:
A) 11 / 14
B) 13 / 18
C) 4 / 7
D) 3 / 7
E) 3 / 14

Rationale: if we use variable for total votes there will be too many fractions to manipulate with , so pick some smart # : let set total # of votes is 18 . 2 / 9 of the votes on a certain resolution have been counted - - > 4 counted and 18 - 4 = 14 votes left to be counted ; 3 / 4 of those counted are in favor of the resolution - - > 3 in favor and 1 against ; ratio of those who voted against to those who voted for to be 2 to 1 there should be total of 18 * 2 / 3 = 12 people who voted against , so in the remaining 14 votes there should be 12 - 1 = 11 people who voted against . thus e = 11 / 14 of the remaining votes must be against . answer : a .
Answer: A
