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
To find the part-to-whole ratio for yellow, we need to calculate the ratio of the number of students who want yellow shoes to the total number of students surveyed.
The number of students who want yellow shoes is 16, and the total number of students surveyed is 60.
So, the part-to-whole ratio for yellow is 16:60.
To find the part-to-whole ratio for yellow, you need to calculate the ratio of the number of students who chose yellow shoes to the total number of students surveyed.
Number of students who chose yellow shoes: 16
Total number of students surveyed: 60
The part-to-whole ratio for yellow, written with a colon, is 16:60.
