65%​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.42

Explanation:

Men Eligible to vote = 60% of 100m = 60m

Women Eligible to vote 70% of 100w = 70w

Men actually voted = 70% of 60m = 42m

Women actually voted = 60% of 70w = 42w

Total men and women voted = 42m + 42w = 42(m+w)

Total population= 100m +100w = 100(m+w)

fraction of the citizens voted during the election = 42(m+w)/100(m+w) = 0.42
