Question

If a bag contains 16 red, 4 yellow, 20 blue, and 8 white balloons, what is the part-to-whole ratio of red balloons to all balloons?\

Answer 1

16 red balloons to all 32 balloons

just add the number of balloons that aren't red and you got your answer, which is 32, and don't add in the red balloons because it is asking the ration to only the red balloons to all balloons

Answer 2

= 1 : 3

Explanation:

Total balloons = 16 + 4 + 20 + 8 = 48 balloons

red balloons to total balloons

16 : 48

Simplify by dividing both sides by 16

1 : 3.
