1 answer

Let's break down the ratios for the club sandwich as given in terms of the number of ham slices and turkey slices.

  1. Part-to-part ratio for ham to turkey:

    • The ratio of ham slices to turkey slices is given as 2 to 5.
    • Thus, the part-to-part ratio is 2:5.
  2. Part-to-whole ratio for ham to total:

    • To find the total number of slices (ham + turkey), we add both parts:
      • Total slices = 2 (ham) + 5 (turkey) = 7.
    • The part-to-whole ratio (ham to total) is thus:
      • Ham slices : Total slices = 2:7.
  3. Whole to part ratio for total to ham:

    • Using the total we calculated (7 slices):
    • The whole to part ratio (total to ham) is:
      • Total slices : Ham slices = 7:2.

In summary:

  • Part-to-part ratio (ham to turkey): 2:5
  • Part-to-whole ratio (ham to total): 2:7
  • Whole to part ratio (total to ham): 7:2
