If the temperature outside is 60 degrees at 6 pm and then drops by 15% at 10 pm, what is the temperature at 10 pm?

51 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:=Given data

Temperature at 6pm = 60 degrees

percent drop= 15%

= 15/100*60

=0.15*60

=9 degrees

Hence the temperature at 10 pm is 60-9= 51 degrees

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
