During a nine hour snowstorm it snows at a rate of 1 inch per hour for the first two hours, at a rate of 2 inches per hour for the next six hours, and at a rate of 1 inch per hour for the final hour. how many inches of snow accumulated from the storm?

I inch per hour for 2 hours = 2 inches

2 inches per hour for 6 hours = 6*2 = 12 inches

1 inch per hour for 1 hour = 1 inch

2+12+1 = 15 inches of snow total

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
