Verified answer
A part to part ratio considers and compares the probabilities of two different outcomes happening. For example, a part to part ratio could be HEADS to TAILS on a fair coin. The ratio is 1/2 to 1/2. Simplified, this is 1 to 1.
However, a part to whole ratio compares the probability of one outcome occurring to the total possibilities possible. Consider the example of a fair coin. A part to whole ratio would be HEADS to ALL EVENTS POSSIBLE or 1/2 to (1/2 + 1/2) or 1/2 to 1 or simplified, 1 to 2

What is the difference between difference in kind and difference in degree?
a difference in degree is when it is the same structure but different, a difference in kind is when it doesnt even relate, whole new topic. ex: raindrop and flood, a flood is just many raindrops therefore a difference in degree.
When two whole numbers are subtracted does it affect the difference?
When you subtract one number from another, the result is called the difference. What does your question mean? If by "when two whole numbers are subtracted" you mean that you subtract one whole number from the minuend, and then you subtract another whole number from the difference, then the answer you get is another difference. In effect, you have one minuend and two subtrahends.
What is the difference between rational exponents and integer exponents?
"Integer" means whole numbers, such as 5, 3, or -2; "rational" means fractional numbers (with whole numbers for the numerator and denominator), such as 1/2, -2/3, etc. This also includes whole numbers.
How do you write ratios?
There are a bunch of ways of writing ratios. If you compare them to a part out of a whole it could be part out of whole, part:whole, orpart/whole. But if you are just comparing part to part, it could be part to part, part:part, or part/part. If this confuses you, just substitute the words with numbers, like instead of part you could write 4 and instead of whole, you could write 16. You can also reduce ratios so instead of 4 to 16, you can write 1 to 4 since both 4 and 16 are divisible by 4. Hope that helps you. ^_^ :)Thanks, this is, like the only place on the internet I could find that had the answer I was looking for. Thanks, this really helped! :) -User:Samally78
The sum of two whole numbers is 72 their difference is 48 what are the two numbers?
the sum of two whole numbers are 77 .their difference is 48.what are the two numbers
Do atoms combine to form molecules in simple whole number ratios?
They do combine in whole number ratios, but these ratios need not be simple - particularly in some organic compounds.
Do all ratios compare a part to a whole number?
Ratios are either a whole number to whole number or a part to a whole number e.g. 2:1, 0.72:4.
What is the difference between a whole number a?
A question about "the difference between" requires two objects!
What is the difference between a diameter and a radius?
A diameter is a whole line and a radius is just half not a whole that is the difference
What are the difference between comparing whole number and comparing decimals?
There is no difference.
The difference between two whole numbers is always a whole number?
True.
Is the difference between 2 whole numbers always a whole number?
Yes, it is.
What is a partitive proportion?
Partitive proportion is the identification of the parts of a whole based on given ratios. It is often accomplished by adding up the ratios and dividing the whole with the sum.
What are the difference between integer and a whole number?
There are no differences.
What is the difference between stoichiometric and non stoichiometric solids?
Non-stoichiometric compounds are chemical compounds with an elemental composition that cannot be represented by a ratio of well-defined natural numbers.Stoichiometric compounds are compounds in which atoms are combined in exact whole-number ratios.
Do all ratios compare a parts of a whole?
yes
Can ratios be simplified into whole numbers?
Yes, some can.
