    288 votes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    wright out what you know

    Blue: 5/8

    Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24

    Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6

    Find the total amount of people

    You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48*6)

    Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
