GIVING BRAINLIEST Try the numbers 3, 4, 5, 6 in the equation 8 + 8 ⋅ b = 40
to test whether any of them is a solution.
a. 3 is a solution. c. 6 is a solution.
b. 4 is a solution. d. 5 is a solution.

a

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + 8 = 16

40 - 16 = 24

16 x 2.5  = 40

2.5 rounded = 3

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5
