Solve for R using cross multiplication

R/ r+ 15 = 3/8

Cross multiply: top of one side multiplied by bottom of other side:

R x 8 = 3 x r+ 15

Simplify:

8r = 3r + 45

Subtract 3r from both sides:

5r = 45

Divide both sides by 5:

R = 9

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
