a) 15 people b) a rating of 3 This can be figured out by (a/b=2.6) and ([a+5]/[b+1]=2.75), and by solving the first equation for a, and plugging (a=2.6b) into the first equation, you would get ([2.6b+5]/[b+1]=2.75) as the equation. Multiplying both sides by [b+1] and simplifying gives (2.6b+5=2.75b+2.75), then by subtracting [2.75] and [2.6b] from both sides gives (2.25b=.15), which means that b=15 is the answer. By plugging this into a=15(2.6), you get a=39, so the answer is[39+3(5)]/[15+3] which equals 54/18 or 3. So the problem would be rated 3 if 2 more people came and voted the problem 5
