What does math term part to whole mean?

A part to whole is, essentially, a ratio. 2:10 is a ratio---it could also be 2(the part) to 10(the whole). The part is how much the part is in comparison to the whole-1/2 could be the part, while 1 is the whole.

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


How do you order the following decimals 13 12353 13351 1235 greatest to least?

Oh, dude, ordering decimals is like ordering a sandwich, but with numbers. So, you start by looking at the biggest part of the number, which is the whole number part. In this case, 13 is the biggest whole number. Then you move on to the decimal part, and you just compare the numbers after the decimal point. So, the order would be 13,351; 12,353; 1,235; and 13.
