Question

Ewen has 48 white tiles and 16 blue tiles. The cost of each white tile was £2 and the cost of each blue tile was £4 work out the ratio of the total cost of the white tiles to the total cost of the blue tiles

Answer 1

Answer:10.60

Step-by-step explanation:48+16=64

2+4=6

then you ➗ both of the number .

Answer 2

Answer: 3:2 or 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

48 white tiles each cost £2, so you multiply each tile by 2 to find the total cost.

48 * 2 = 96

So the total cost of the white tiles is £96

16 blue tiles each cost £4, so you multiply each tile by 4 to find the total cost.

16 * 4 = 64

So the total cost of the blue tiles is £64

Now, to find the ratio, you compare the total cost of white tiles by the total cost of blue tiles.

96:64

Now, you can simply this to get the common ratio. Find a common divisor.

96 / 32 = 3

64 / 32 = 2

The ratio is 3:2 or 3/2
