The best choice to represent with percentages would be:
1. What part of the vote each candidate received in an election
2. What part of a pizza has been eaten
3. What part of a quart is needed for a recipe (a quart is 32 ounces)
Representing these scenarios with percentages would provide a clear understanding of the proportion or share of each candidate's votes, the amount of pizza consumed, and the quantity of a quart needed for a recipe.
The best choice to represent with percentages would be:
1. What part of the vote each candidate received in an election: To find the percentages for each candidate, you would divide the number of votes received by each candidate by the total number of votes cast in the election and then multiply by 100.
2. What part of a pizza has been eaten: To represent this with percentages, you would calculate the portion of the pizza that has been eaten by dividing the size of the eaten portion by the total size of the pizza and then multiply by 100.
3. What part of a quart is needed for a recipe: To determine the percentage of a quart needed for a recipe, you would divide the quantity needed (in ounces) by the total amount (32 ounces for a quart) and then multiply by 100.
4. What part of an hour you spent on an assignment: This is not typically represented with percentages since an hour is a fixed unit of time. It would be more appropriate to represent this as a fraction or decimal. For example, if you spent 30 minutes on an assignment, you could say you spent 0.5 (or 1/2) of an hour.
