Answer:
3:2
Step-by-step explanation:
Ewen has 48 white tiles and 16 blue tiles
The cost of each white tile was £2
The cost of each blue tile was £4
Therefore the total cost of 48 white tiles is
= 48×2
= £96
The total cost of 16 blue tiles is
= 16×4
= £64
The ratio of the total cost of the white tiles and blue tile can be calculated by dividing the cost of both tiles by their greatest common factor
The greatest common factor of £96 and £64 is 32
96/32 = 3
64/32= 2
Ratio= 3:2
Hence the ratio of the total cost of the white tiles to the blue tiles is 3:2
Basically you need to make the denominator (whats on the bottom) the same, lets take the first one for example
2 3/4, lets put this all over 4 for the same denominator.
2=8/4, and then add this to 3/4 to get 11/4.
the second part will work the same way,
start by making 1 into 8/8. add this to 1/8 to get 9/8
now we have to add 11/4 and 9/8. to do this, you have to find the smallest multiple between the two (for example: between 6 and 4 it would be 12, since 4*3= 12, and 2*6=12)
now, the smallest common multiple between 4 and 8 would just be 8
11/4= 22/8, since you multiply the bottom and top by the same amount so it still equals 11/4, but your denominator will now be 8.
now you can subtract. 22/8- 9/8= 13/8
final answer: 13/8
try the rest yourself since this is important for later math, hoped this helped :)
Where is a n? please look at the question again!!
Length - 14 meters
Width - 7 meters
The length is twice the width - 7 times 2 = 14
There are four sides, two 14m and two 7m. 14 x 2 + 7 x 2 = 42
