Shaniya Lloyd · Answer 1

If we let x be the number of votes then, Brody got x/3 votes from his teammates. Below are the calculation for Darren and James.

Darren = 0.5 (x/3) = x/6

James = 3 (x/6) = x/2

From the answers, x/3, x/6, and x/2, the least is x/6 followed by x/3, and finally x/2. In order of the persons who garnered the least to greatest votes, the answer would be

Darren, Brody, and James
