Carlos's father bought him a 18-foot board to cut into shelves for his bedroom. carlos plans to cut the board into 7 equal size lenghts for his shelves.

q: the saw blade that carlos will use to cut the board will change the length of the board by -0.125 inches for each cut. how will this affect the total length of the board?

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

the answer is the third / last answer
