What is the value of x?

What is the value of y?

The answer to your question is x = 24 and y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

ED = x                       HJ = 18

DF = 16                     JG = y

EF = 20                     HG = 15

Process

1.- Find x

Use proportions to find it

                 ED/EF = HJ/HG

Substitution

                 x/20 = 18/15

Solve for x

                  x = 20(18/15)

                  x = 360/15

                  x = 24

2.- Find y

                JG/JH = DF/ED

Substitution

                y/18 = 16/24

Solve for y

                y = 18(16/24)

                y = 288/24

                y = 12

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
