Tiffany sketched a picture is a car she used the scale 2 inches: 12 feet the car in her sketch is 8 inches long what is the length in feet of the actual car

The actual length in feet of the car is 48 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Tiffany sketched a picture of a car she used the scale 2 inches : 12 feet.

In her sketch the car is 8 inches long.

Now, to find the length in feet of the actual car.

Let the actual length of car in feet be

And the length of car in her sketch is 8 inches.

Thus, 8 inches is equivalent to .

So, the ratio of the scale used by Tiffany as given is 2 inches : 12 feet.

Thus, 2 inches is equivalent to 12 feet.

Now, to get the actual length of car by using cross multiplication method:

By cross multiplying we get:

⇒  

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

⇒  

⇒  

Therefore, the actual length in feet of the car is 48 feet.

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
