| She has been elected by 2/5 of 20 states which means 8/50 or 4/25 of all states. So to know how many more to reach halfway mark , I will do 1/2- 4/25. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| I will multiply the denominators that gets me to /50, I will treat the numerators as I treated the denominators. That is- (25/50- 8/50) = 17/50. | |

 | |  |
| She needs to be nominated by 17/50 or states more i.e. 17 more states. | |

| I will now explain. She needs 17/50 to reach the halfway mark, She needs 1/50 more to reach more than half! So she needs to be elected by 18/50 or 9/25 states more i.e 18 more states. | |
