At the end of the summer, I decide to drain the swimming pool (which has 1500 gallons of water in it). I noticed that it drains
faster when there is more water in the pool. That was interesting
to me, so I decided to measure the rate at which it drains. I found
that it was draining at a rate of 1% every minute.
How long will it take to have less than 500 gallons in the pool?

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

no not all of them.

step-by-step explanation:

some of them have a square base.
