Answer 1

Answer: See below

Explanation:

number of yellow pieces/number of blue pieces

= 14/24

= 7/12 --> 7 to 12 --> 7:12

The ratio that represents the number of yellow pieces to the total number of pieces is part-to-whole

number of yellow pieces/total number of pieces

= 14/100

= 7/50 --> 7 to 50 --> 7:50

The ratio that represents the number of blue pieces to the total number of pieces is part-to-whole

= 24/100

= 6/25 --> 6 to 25 --> 6:25
