Atruck can be rented from company a for $100 a day plus $0.20 per mile. company b charges $60 a day plus $0.70 per mile to rent the same truck. find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for company a and company b are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we write the rental cost with each company:

Company A

Company B

Where m: miles travelled

Now, we need to find "number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for Company A and Company B are the same". This means Pa = Pb. Then:

Solving the equation for m by taking 0.2m and 60 on both sides:

Finally, dividing 0.5 on both sides:

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
