Given: Number of students who cast vote for the incumbent = 7,000

Number of students who cast vote for the opponent = 900

Number of protest votes = 100

Total number of votes cast = 7000+900+100=8000

Ratio of incumbent's votes in the total number of votes can be calculated as =  The incumbent's votes/Total number of votes

= 7000/8000

7/8

Thus, ratio of the incumbent's votes in the total number of votes = 7:8.
