19 - 5.5 = 13.5 is the equation that best represents the distance between -19 and 5.5 in the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, the absolute value of |-19| is 19.

And the absolute value of |5.5| is 5.5

Now, find the difference between the absolute value of those two numbers -19 and 5.5

⇒ |-19| - |5.5|

⇒ 19 - 5.5

⇒ 13.5

Now look for the options in which the equation shows 19 - 5.5 = 13.5

Thus, the equation that best represents the distance between -19 and 5.5 is 19 - 5.5 = 13.5

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
