Answer: See below
Step-by-step 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
Last month, my house used 1,740 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy,
and the part of my bill that charged for the electricity was $226.20 .
For the same month, my brother in Boston used 1,175 kilowatt-hours
of energy, and the energy part of HIS bill was $199.75 .
Which of us gets the better deal on his electrical energy ?
