two piers, a and b, are located s km away from each other along a river. a motorboat, with a speed of v km/hour in still water, is cruising between the two piers. How much time t (in hours) will the motorboat need to get from pier a to pier b and back, if the speed of the current is 5km/hour? find t if: s=105 v=40

speed in still water is v=40 speed of current

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
