If a bag contains 18 red, 6 yellow, 24 blue, and 8 white balloons, what is the part-to-whole ratio of white balloons to all balloons?

18 + 6 + 24 + 8 = 56

8 : 56

1 : 7

The part-to-whole ratio of white balloons to all balloons is 1:7

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
