Last weekend, a local store sold 23 phones, 13 stereos, and 17 televisions. What is the whole-to-part ratio for phones and televisions written with the word to?(1 point) Responses 53 to 40 53 to 40 46 to 53 46 to 53 53:30 ratio of 53 to 30 40 to 53

Answer 1

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

Total phones sold: 23
Total televisions sold: 17

Now, we calculate the total for both:

Total = Phones + Televisions = 23 + 17 = 40

The ratio of the whole (total phones and televisions) to the part (televisions) can be written as:

Whole (phones and televisions) : Part (televisions) = 40 : 17

However, since you specifically asked for the ratio with respect to phones and televisions combined, we interpret it as the total (phones and televisions) to the total phones:

Whole (total phones and televisions) : Part (phones) = 40 : 23

None of the provided options match this interpretation. If you want to specifically relate phones to televisions:

Whole (total phones and televisions) : Part (televisions) is 40 : 17.

Therefore, if we're just matching with the closest option possible from the provided list without a direct fit, your question phrasing confuses “whole-to-part” with results provided.

Please clarify if you want a different interpretation of “whole-to-part” or a specific arrangement !
