53 to 40
46 to 53
46 to 53
40 to 53
40 to 53
53:30
53 to 30
The whole-to-part ratio for phones and televisions is 53 to 30.
To find the whole-to-part ratio between phones and televisions, we need to add the quantities of phones and televisions together.
Total phones + televisions = 23 + 17 = 40
The whole-to-part ratio for phones and televisions is 40 to 17 or 40:17.
To find the whole-to-part ratio for phones and televisions, we need to divide the number of phones and televisions by the total number of items sold.
The total number of phones and televisions sold is 23 + 17 = 40.
Therefore, the ratio for phones and televisions would be 40 to the total number of items sold.
So the correct answer is 40 to 53.
