which of the following would be the best choice to represent with percentages A what part of the vote each candidate received in an election B what part of an hour you spent on an assignment C what part of a pizza has been bitten D what part of a quart is needed for a recipe a cord is 32 ounces

Answer 1

The best choice to represent with percentages among the options provided is:

A: what part of the vote each candidate received in an election.

This is because percentages are commonly used to express how much each candidate received relative to the total votes cast, allowing for a clear comparison between candidates.

While percentages can technically be used for the other options as well, they are less commonly represented that way:

• B (what part of an hour you spent on an assignment) is often expressed in minutes or seconds.
• C (what part of a pizza has been bitten) is usually visualized as fractions or visuals.
• D (what part of a quart is needed for a recipe) can be expressed as fractions (e.g., 1/4 of a quart) rather than percentages.
