To represent the choices with percentages, you need to determine the ratio or proportion of the given quantity to the total quantity. In each scenario, you can calculate the percentage as follows:
1. To represent "what part of the vote each candidate received in an election" with percentages, you would need to determine the number of votes received by each candidate and divide it by the total number of votes cast in the election. This would give you the proportion of votes each candidate received as a decimal, which can then be converted to a percentage by multiplying by 100.
2. To represent "what part of an hour you spent on an assignment" with percentages, you would need to determine the amount of time you spent on the assignment and divide it by the total duration of an hour (60 minutes). This would give you the proportion of time spent as a decimal, which can then be converted to a percentage by multiplying by 100.
3. To represent "what part of a quart is needed for a recipe" with percentages, you would need to determine the amount of quart needed for the recipe and divide it by the total quantity of a quart (32 ounces). This would give you the proportion of quart needed as a decimal, which can then be converted to a percentage by multiplying by 100.
4. To represent "what part of a pizza has been eaten" with percentages, you would need to determine the portion of the pizza that has been eaten and divide it by the total size of the pizza. This would give you the proportion of the pizza eaten as a decimal, which can then be converted to a percentage by multiplying by 100.
By using these calculations, you can accurately represent each choice with percentages.
