The Robinson and Barrett Oil Company wants to build a distribution center along an established, straight pipeline that runs near three cities as shown below. To minimize the cost, the distribution center should be located so that the total length of pipe running from the distribution center to the three cities is as small as possible. Where should the distribution center be located?

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

14 ft 7 inches
