A movie theater has 24 screens. The ratio of action films to other films currently showing on all of the screens 1:2. How many action films are currently showing?

8:16, 8 actions films

Step-by-step explanation:

1:2 = 1x:2x

= 24 / (1x+2x)

= 24 / 3x = 8, x = 8

= 8*1 : 8*2

= 8:16

Proof:

8 + 16 = 24

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
