Answer 1

To find the whole-to-part ratio for phones and televisions, we first need to determine the total number of phones and televisions sold.

• Phones sold: 23
• Televisions sold: 17

Now we calculate the totals:

• Total phones and televisions sold = 23 (phones) + 17 (televisions) = 40
• Total items sold = 23 (phones) + 13 (stereos) + 17 (televisions) = 53

Now, we can express the whole-to-part ratio for phones and televisions:

• The "whole" is 53 (total items sold).
• The "part" is 40 (total phones and televisions).

Thus, the whole-to-part ratio is:

53 to 40.

So the correct response is 53 to 40.
