Do all ratios compare a part to a whole number? Explain

Yes and no... 

A ratio can be defined in a new ways. Let's say I have a party with twelve people, four of whom are male and eight of whom are female. The ratio of male to female guests would be written as 4:8, neither of which is the whole number (12) but which instead relate parts of the whole. I could alternatively write the ratio of male guests to total guests as 4/12. This does compare it to the whole. A ratio relates two quantities by showing how many times one quantity is contained within or contains another quantity.

By the phrasing of your question, I'm not sure if you maybe mean whole number as an integer. If that's the case, then yes, ratios are almost always written as integers. If I had something like 8.5:7, I would multiply it by two to get 17:14, which is a correct ratio.

Answer:

-7 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator of 3, 4, 6, and 8 is 24; converting all of our fractions to that denominator and solving, we have

-\frac{8}{3}+\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)+\left(-\frac{11}{6}\right)+\frac{3}{8}-3\\=-\frac{64}{24}+\left(-\frac{6}{24}\right)+\left(-\frac{44}{24}\right)+\frac{9}{24}-3\\\\=\frac{-64+(-6)+(-44)+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-70+(-44)+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-114+9}{24} -3\\\\=\frac{-105}{24}-3 \\\\=\frac{-35}{8}-3\\ \\=-4\frac{3}{8}-3\\\\=-7\frac{3}{8}

So our solution is -7 3/8

Answer:

$64.80

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the sales tax

Convert 8% into a decimal

8/100=0.08

Multiply the decimal by the cost of the game

60*0.08=4.8

$4.80 is just the tax, we have to find the total cost

Add the tax and the cost of the game

60+4.80=64.80

So, the total cost is $64.80

Hope this helps! :)
