Answer 1

To find the part-to-whole ratio for yellow, you need to divide the number of yellow shoes by the total number of students surveyed:

Part-to-whole ratio for yellow = Number of yellow shoes / Total number of students
= 16 / 60

Simplifying the ratio, you get:

Part-to-whole ratio for yellow = 4 / 15

So, the part-to-whole ratio for yellow written with a colon is:

4:15
