Question

complete the statements this module. 1. ____ is a ratio that compares a part to a whole of ____. to the hundredths or

Explanation:

To complete the statement, we recall the concept of a decimal (or a fraction, but in the context of ratio to whole, decimal as a part - whole ratio is common) and the whole is often 1 (or 100 in percentage terms, but here the blank after "whole of" likely expects "1" or a general whole, but the first blank: A decimal is a ratio that compares a part to a whole of 1 (or a fraction like a decimal represents part over whole where whole is 1). Wait, actually, the term "decimal" here: A decimal is a number that can be written as a fraction with denominator a power of 10, and it represents a part - whole ratio where the whole is considered as 1 (or 10, 100, etc.). But more accurately, the first blank is "decimal" and the second blank is "1" (or "a whole number" but typically 1). Wait, let's think again. The definition: A decimal is a ratio that compares a part to a whole of 1 (since a decimal like 0.5 is 5/10, which is 5 parts to a whole of 10? No, maybe the term is "decimal" and the whole is "1" (as a decimal is part per 1, e.g., 0.3 is 3 tenths, which is 3 parts to a whole of 10? Wait, maybe the correct term is "decimal" and the whole is "1" (or "a whole number"). Alternatively, maybe "fraction" but the first word is "decimal" as per the partial text. So the first blank is "decimal" and the second blank is "1" (or "a whole" or "1 (in decimal terms)").

Answer:

1. \(\boldsymbol{decimal}\) is a ratio that compares a part to a whole of \(\boldsymbol{1}\) (or a whole number, but most accurately 1).
