Solution Steps

To find out how many students voted for basketball, we need to calculate two-thirds of the total number of students. This can be done by multiplying the total number of students by 2/3.

Step 1: Determine the Fraction of Students Who Voted for Basketball

We are given that two-thirds of the students voted for basketball. This can be represented as the fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\).

Step 2: Calculate the Number of Students Who Voted for Basketball

To find the number of students who voted for basketball, we multiply the total number of students by the fraction who voted for basketball: \[ \text{students\_voted\_basketball} = 180 \times \frac{2}{3} \]

Step 3: Simplify the Calculation

Perform the multiplication: \[ \text{students\_voted\_basketball} = 180 \times 0.6667 \approx 120.0 \]

Final Answer

The number of students who voted for basketball is: \[ \boxed{120} \]

Compare the structures of the conjugate acids drawn in parts (a) and (b) of this problem, and determine which is more stable. Based on the stability of the conjugate acids, determine which base, ammonia or DBN, is the stronger base. Explain your choice. - Ammonia is the weaker base because it has the more stable conjugate acid. - DBN is the stronger base because both nitrogen atoms have delocalized lone pairs. - DBN is the stronger base because it has a resonance-stabilized conjugate acid. - Ammonia is the stronger base because it has the more stable conjugate acid.
