What fraction of House Repugs voted *for* 1/6 commission ? 35/210, or 1/6.

[eppur_se_muova]

So when's someone going to publish the headline, "1/6 House Republicans vote for 1/6 Commission"?

[Ptah]

1. 35/175 is equal to 1/5

[niyad]

3. But it is 1/6 of the 210 total.

[Ptah]

8. Well, after the OP edit. . .

[niyad]

10. Since there are 211 pukes in the House, and one did not vote, did not need the edit.

[Ptah]

11. Before the edit, the OP said the fraction 35/175 is equal to the fraction 1/6

[niyad]

12. But I knew what was meant.

[Ptah]

13. You knew what was meant, not what was said?

[niyad]

14. See post 10

[Ptah]

15. Got it. The fraction 1/5 equals the fraction 1/6.

[niyad]

16. Is there some reason that you are appearing deliberately obtuse, and insulting, before coffee even?

[eppur_se_muova]

6. Brain fart. It was 35 to 175, or 35 out of 210 PRESENT AND VOTING.

Can't let details ruin a good story.

7. I think they meant 35 for 175 against..210 total

[Towlie]

2. There are 211 Republicans in the House. You'll need to shoot one before your amusing math works out.

And if one Republican representative disappeared, your expression "35/175" would really be written as the ratio "35:175" and should not be confused with the fraction "35/210".

35/210 = 1/6.

[niyad]

4. One did not vote

[niyad]

5. Very interesting

9. Total R's in house is 211

1/6 of 211 is 35.167

it looks like 1 R didn't vote (175+35=210)
