Becky takes out a 30-year mortgage at on which her monthly payment is $1200. During the early years of the mortgage, most of each payment is for interest and the rather small remainder for the principal. As time goes on, the portion of each payment that goes for interest decreases while the portion for principal increases, a) Approximately how much of the $1200 monthly payment goes for interest in year 10? b) In what year will the monthly payment be equally divided between interest and principal?

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

1. minimum

2. 6400

3. eight

hope this !
