Answer 1

To find the whole-to-part ratio for the total refreshments to boxes of orange juice, we first need to calculate the total number of refreshments available.

Total refreshments = number of lemonades + number of bottles of water + number of boxes of orange juice.

So,

Total refreshments = 13 (lemonades) + 14 (bottles of water) + 12 (boxes of orange juice) Total refreshments = 13 + 14 + 12 = 39.

Now, the number of boxes of orange juice is 12.

The whole-to-part ratio is then:

Whole (total refreshments) : Part (boxes of orange juice) = 39 : 12.

This can be written as a fraction:

Whole-to-part ratio = Start Fraction 39 over 12 End Fraction.

So, the correct response is:

3912 Start Fraction 39 over 12 End Fraction.
