Let's break down the information given in the problem step by step.
The survey found that 1/3 of the respondents support the mayor's property tax plan. This means that 2/3 of the respondents did not support the plan.
Among those who did not support the mayor's plan, 1/8 indicated they would not vote to reelect the mayor if the plan were implemented.
To find the fraction of respondents who indicated they would not vote for the mayor if the plan were enacted, we need to calculate the fraction of respondents who did not support the plan and then multiply it by the fraction who would not vote to reelect the mayor.
Fraction who did not support the plan: 2/3
Fraction who would not vote to reelect the mayor if the plan were implemented: 1/8
Fraction who would not vote for the mayor if the plan were enacted = (2/3) * (1/8) = 2/24 = 1/12
Therefore, the fraction that indicated they would not vote for the mayor if the plan were enacted is 1/12.
The correct answer is B. 1/12.
