Quantities p and q are in the ratio 5:2. Which statements correctly distinguish a ratio from a fraction of the whole? Select all that apply.

  1. p is 5/7 of the whole.Respuesta correcta
  2. q is 2/7 of the whole.Respuesta correcta
  3. p is 5/2 times q.Respuesta correcta
  4. p is 5/2 of the whole.
  5. q is 5/7 times p.

Explicación

Together p and q represent 7 equal parts, giving shares of 5/7 and 2/7, while their pairwise quotient remains 5/2. Treating 5/2 as p's share is impossible because a proper part of this positive whole cannot exceed one.
