If a bag contains 16 red, 6 yellow, 24 blue, and 8 white balloons, what is the part-to-whole ratio of yellow balloons to all balloons?
Answer:
The part-to-whole ratio of yellow balloons to all balloons is 1:9.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a bag contains 16 red, 6 yellow, 24 blue, and 8 white balloons.
Total number of balloons is
\(16+6+24+8=54\)
Total number of balloons in the bag is 54.
The number of yellow balls in the bag is 6.
The part-to-whole ratio of yellow balloons to all balloons is
\(Ratio=\frac{\text{Yellow Balls}}{\text{Total Balls}}\)
\(Ratio=\frac{6}{54}\)
\(Ratio=\frac{1}{9}\)
Therefore the part-to-whole ratio of yellow balloons to all balloons is 1:9.
