Beth has 250 comic books in her collection. She begins to sell 20 of them each week. Martin has 80 comic books in his collection. He begins buying 15 new comic books each week. Select from the choices below, dragging and dropping to build an inequality that could be used to determine when Martin's comic book collection exceeds Beth's.

250 - 20 < 80 + 15x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Beth has 250 books and 20 books sold each week

While on the other hand, Martin has 80 books and sell 15 books each week

Let us assume each week be x

Now the equations are  

Beth         250 - 20x            

Martin       80 + 15 x

Now the inequality would be

250 - 20 < 80 + 15x

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
