To find the part-to-part ratio for fitness trackers to phones, we need to compare the number of students who chose fitness trackers to those who chose phones.

According to the table:

  • Number of students who chose fitness trackers: 5
  • Number of students who chose phones: 7

The part-to-part ratio of fitness trackers to phones is:

5 (fitness trackers) : 7 (phones)

So, the answer is 5:7.
